Heart Havens is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides residential support to adults with a developmental disability, but it's so much more than a roof and a bed. We empower people to discover what they love and pursue their hopes and dreams. Big or small, we support people as they find a way to make their goals and dreams happen. We use a person-centered process to ensure that everyone we support is living their best life, being a part of the community in the ways they truly want and making decisions for themselves every day.
Heart Havens is licensed by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services and is an approved Medicaid provider. We were founded by the Virginia Conference of the United Methodist Church, though we now operate independently from the Virginia Conference under the direction of a Board of Directors. However, the Christian principles of our mission are very much in place. Heart Havens operates homes in Richmond, Stuarts Draft, Lynchburg, and Virginia Beach. All of the homes have the capacity to house four residents, who are fully supervised at all times with dedicated and experienced staff.
