Psalm 122:7 – May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.
May 2, 2024, marked the welcoming of Daniel, Edward, Brice, and Brent to their new neighborhood in Sioux Center, IA. Hope Haven built a top quality, handicap accessible home with zero-entry, thanks to the state of Iowa grant, to provide a safe and secure living space for individuals with disabilities, enabling them to lead productive lives in their community.
WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME
Daniel, Edward, Brice, and Brent have been receiving services from Hope Haven under the support of My Day and Community Living. In the summer of 2023, Hope Haven was chosen as a recipient of a special government grant to build three new handicap accessible homes in Iowa – Sioux Center, Spencer, and Estherville. In their previous home, the individuals faced many difficulties in maintaining a safe environment and maneuvering around their multi-level home due to the circumstances. Thanks to the grant, Hope Haven can support the four individuals to age well in their new home and enjoy a meaningful life in their neighborhood.
While Hope Haven provides daily support services, the men handle the cleaning, cooking, maintenance, and other tasks they embrace. “I love my new home,” says Brent. The bigger kitchen, a larger bedroom for my furniture, and more space for socializing are what I like.” But not only is the home great, the neighborhood is wonderful. “I enjoy sitting outside my front porch and visiting the neighbors.”
“I am excited to see the men develop and grow into their new home,” says Frankie Barnes, Community Living Manager. “They will acquire self-care skills, become more independent, and enable our staff to be more hands-off while advocating positively for each individual’s needs.”
Through the generosity of our donors like you, Hope Haven can support individual’s vision, “encouraging of dreams, desires, and aspirations; valuing gifts, talents, and contributions.” With your donation, our vision statement becomes a reality, and comes to life through the people we serve!
