It's not a very bad company but there are many improvements that could be made. The little  do all the work, upper management reap benefits. No overtime allowed, even if work is not completed and you are willing to stay over time is not approved. I have worked here for 2 years and turn over rate is extremely high. If i could leave i would, but not until i find something else. The work conditions are not good, i work in a basement and the smell of sewage is severe. Upper Management knows of these conditions but appear to not care, they need a body present. ASAFEHAVEN is a foundation that help homeless and drug addicted individuals that aspect of the job i love helping people. Again it's not a very bad company just needs a lot of tweeking.

The Development department is plagued by instability due to poor leadership and chronic turnover. In the past two years, most employees have left within a year or less, leaving remaining staff overwhelmed and unsupported. Training is minimal, institutional knowledge is lost, and leadership is weak. Morale suffers under a lack of direction and care, unclear communication, and minimal leadership accountability. Despite repeated patterns of burnout and attrition, little is done to address the underlying issues.  

There is a strong perception of nepotism at the executive level. This has led to concerns about fairness, transparency, and whether qualifications or relationships carry more weight in key leadership decisions.

I am a concerned people person.  I'm always willing to assist another if I can.  The Safe Haven Foundation was just a name the Managers that ran the center had no real concern for the residents well being.  They talk down to the residents etc.  The residents would come to me and complain and thought because I was a genuine listner and concerned person that I could correct issues they were having. I enjoyed the learning experience and the interaction with people, but that particular facility was not the place for me.

A Safe Haven Foundation is a nonprofit agency with the vision to help homeless people integrate themselves back in society. Their mission of empowerment is truly life changing and hosts a full range of social services including health coverage navigation. My experience while working at A Safe Haven Foundation was nothing but rewarding. As a healthcare navigator working out on the field to a specific target community, I was privileged to be given full autonomy of setting my own working schedule, marketing strategy and daily operations.

We has so much in common and we all got along well. I have trained them and they learned to progress. The hardest part of the job was when the children began to scream, hit, and cry, I always kept my cool and figured out a way to calm them down.
