An emergency homeless shelter for seniors
Feb. 10
The Haven is a new emergency shleter for seniors experiencing homelessness. It was created by CASS, Central Arizona Shelter Services. The 130-unit facility, transformed from a former Phoenix Inn, is reimagined to feel like a residential community for aging and medically at-risk individuals.
The Haven offers a safe, supportive and community-like environment for up to 170 older adults (aged 55 and above) who are aging or medically at risk. The Haven also provides other services including case management and dementia screenings.
Nathan Smith, CEO of CASS, joined us on “Arizona Horizon” to talk about the new emergency shelter in Phoenix.
