Faith Haven House provides a supportive network, daily shelter, and life skills coaching to guide unhoused men from transition to independent homeownership.
Faith Haven House will be a place where residents start the re-building process. We work with homeless men, providing a stable living environment. Throughout transition, they receive a network of support with available resources to meet their physical and spiritual needs.
Three interconnected layers of care take each resident from emergency shelter to self-sufficient homeownership.
Every recovery journey requires a secure foundation. We meet residents' immediate physical and spiritual needs by providing a warm bed, daily meal delivery via our partner networks, and a highly structured, drug-free shelter environment to ensure peace and restoration.
Nutritious Daily Meal Train
Secure, Welcoming SanctuaryResidents do not walk the rebuilding path alone. We build a personalized web of care around each man — personal mentors, life skills coaching classes, and regular Daytime House Monitor presence to maintain order, listen, and offer spiritual encouragement.
One-on-One Men's Mentorship
Life Skills & Job PreparationThe peak of the Faith Haven House experience is independence. Once basic needs are established and local support resources are connected, residents work with mentors to transition into permanent housing, build a sustainable personal budget, and cultivate long-term self-sufficiency.
Permanent Housing Connections
Financial Independence & JobsFrom initial pre-screen intake to independent homeownership, every resident progresses through a structured, transparent timeline of care.
A non-sensitive initial inquiry form evaluates basic eligibility, housing history, and immediate needs to determine placement readiness for unhoused men.
Residents receive immediate relief from the elements with secure lodging, clean living spaces, and nightly hot meal delivery supplied by community volunteers.
Dedicated Daytime House Monitors maintain a structured, drug-free sanctuary, offering hospitality, boundary enforcement, and continuous staff presence.
Weekly one-on-one mentorship pairs residents with experienced guides to work through financial literacy, resume creation, and personal accountability.
Graduates lock in employment, secure long-term lease housing via program partnerships, and step into self-sufficient homeownership.
In St. Charles County, homelessness among single men rarely happens overnight. Most residents at Faith Haven House are good, hardworking men who found themselves just one crisis away — one sudden illness, one job loss, one family tragedy, or one broken relationship away from losing their shelter.
In a county of 400,000 residents, Faith Haven House is the only shelter dedicated to single men.
We provide immediate lodging alongside the accountability needed to achieve self-sufficiency.
Every resident receives direct guidance, life skills coaching, and permanent housing placement.
Between 2013 and 2015, Dareth Jeffers served meals to unhoused men and women. The standard answer to shelter requests was no. Dareth prayed, found servant-hearted partners, designed a logo, and made a plan. Faith Haven House became that YES. Today, men have a place to stay and a chance to rebuild.

Real accounts from the men Faith Haven House has walked alongside.
In the 36 days that he was here, Eric was able to obtain a full-time job while continuing to drive for Door Dash to supplement his income. He moved into permanent housing through the First Step Back Home program! We are so happy to partner with an amazing organization to help one of our residents obtain his independence again! With God, we can do more!
We had our first graduate, Devon! Devon made huge progress in the month he was with us. He came from living in a tent where he had been for quite some time. By the time he left, he was smiling and laughing, working in a field that he enjoys, and staying in a stable place. I truly believe that the men who come to us just need that extra little lift.
