About Our Housing Program

What do we do?

Vella Haven Recovery & Reentry Services was established to support individuals during the critical transition from incarceration back into the community. We recognize that stability and structure are essential to long-term success.

Our program provides safe housing combined with accountability and support to help residents rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose.

Vella HavenHomes was born from a simple belief: that everyone deserves a safe, peaceful space to grow in independence. I started this journey with a heart to serve and to create a home where people feel seen, supported, and never alone. Here, we walk alongside our residents—not ahead or behind—believing in their potential every step of the way.”

To provide safe, supportive, and affordable independent living for adults in transition — empowering them with structure, dignity, and the tools to rebuild their lives.

Our Vision

A world where every individual—regardless of their past or circumstances—has access to a stable home, a second chance, and a path to lasting independence.

Our Values

Compassion – We meet every resident with empathy, understanding, and non-judgment.

  • Stability – We offer consistency and structure in a world that often feels uncertain.

  • Empowerment – We equip our residents with life skills, accountability, and hope.

  • Respect – We honor every individual’s dignity, privacy, and journey.

  • Community – We believe in the power of connection, support, and shared growth.

How we started

Vella HavenHomes was born out of a desire to fill a critical gap in housing—between shelters and permanent living. Our founder recognized a growing need for supportive environments where individuals could safely transition back into society after facing hardship, incarceration, abuse, or housing instability. What began as a passion project to serve vulnerable adults has grown into a structured program rooted in faith, compassion, and a deep commitment to community impact.
