Last quarter service trends: Haven sets new record in number of survivors served

Last quarter marked the first time Haven has served more than 400 survivors in a single quarter, a new record according to our internal service numbers. This new record number of survivors served also significantly exceeds the quarterly average of the past two years.

“That's quite a bit of a jump in the last quarter,” said Haven director of programs Kareena, adding that this is a testament to Haven advocates who answer the 24-hour support line and work with residents at Haven’s shelter. 

Also up dramatically last quarter – 71 percent up from our quarterly average in the past two years – was the number of what we call “total bed nights” – the number of safe nights provided to survivors and their children. This big increase is a function of not only Haven’s increased capacity to shelter survivors at The Barnard Center, but also of Bozeman’s recent population growth and related housing crisis.
