Continuing a legacy Safe Haven project for people with serious barriers
Safe Haven Renewal Only (Safe Haven)
Safe Haven is a legacy project type that may continue only under specific renewal conditions. It is not a new project opportunity for most applicants. This page is mainly for existing Safe Haven recipients that need to understand renewal expectations.
What problem does this solve?
Existing Safe Haven projects may still serve people with serious barriers who have been connected to that legacy model. Renewal rules allow eligible projects to continue when they meet requirements.
This may be a good fit if...
You currently operate an eligible Safe Haven project.
You can document renewal eligibility and compliance.
You can show the same population and scale required by the rules.
You are prepared for local review and renewal documentation.
This may not be the best fit if...
You are proposing a new Safe Haven project.
Your idea is really PSH, TH, RRH, SSO, or another current project type.
You do not currently operate an eligible Safe Haven grant.
You cannot document renewal requirements.
What would the program actually do?
The existing Safe Haven project continues serving eligible participants.
The recipient prepares renewal documentation and performance information.
The project goes through local and HUD renewal review.
If funded, services continue under the legacy project rules.
What can funding usually support?
Eligible renewal costs for the existing Safe Haven project.
HMIS and project administration where eligible.
