Educational Task Force
Educational Task Force on Homelessness and Poverty
In the summer of 2006, The Haven—along with several other service organizations in the Upper Valley—founded the Educational Task Force on Homelessness and Poverty. The mission of the group is to provide thought-provoking educational programming to inspire Upper Valley citizens to work toward eliminating poverty and homelessness in their communities.
Task force members represent 13 different private or state agencies, including:
- Listen
- Community Partnership of Orange/Windsor
- Vermont Department of Health
- Upper Valley Housing Coalition
- Tri-County Community Action Program
- Twin Pines Housing Trust
- Upper Valley United Way
- Agency of Human Services
- Friends of Veterans
- 10 Bricks
- House of Hope
- COVER Home Repair
- and The Haven
The group sponsors periodic educational events in the Upper Valley. If you would like to join the task force or be on its mailing list for notification about future events, email or call 802-295-6500.
