Transitional housing safe havens are "low-threshold" transitional housing for chronically street homeless individuals who do not make use of traditional shelters: they have fewer requirements, making them attractive to those who are resistant to emergency shelter. It's optional and there AREN't ANY PRE-requisites. There are no curfews and more privacy than traditional shelter. Safe havens offer intensive supports to address mental health and substance use disorders, with the ultimate goal of moving each client into permanent housing. Safe havens are, thus, a crucial HARM reduction/housing first resource to enable the most entrenched chronically homeless who have extreme reluctance to leave behind their unsheltered lives to accept help.
