ANNUAL REPORT
2024-2025
OUR MISSION: To help youth be safe, supported, and successful
MEET BECKHAM
At the age of 18, Beckham was living in a car with his mother and two teenage siblings when he met one of
our Street Outreach team members, Emmy. Despite the instability surrounding him, Beckham held onto his
goals. He kept a steady job and earned his high school diploma while participating in our Street Outreach
program. As Beckham worked with staff, he showed a steady resolve. With Emmy’s guidance, he applied
for and received a Section 8 housing voucher and connected with a landlord who offered his entire family
the chance to start fresh in a stable home.
“Emmy’s been very helpful. I’m grateful that I met her because, honestly, I don’t know where I’d be if I had
never asked for help.”
In the two years since, Beckham has continued to grow. He is now working full-time to support his family and
has joined Haven House’s Youth Advisory Board, where he uses his voice and experience to advocate for
youth facing homelessness. We are proud to see him building the future he envisions.
