The Lake County Haven is a social service supporting homeless women and children by providing education, affordable housing and employment services. Designed to assist individuals on their way to independent living, it assists women looking to regain custody of children from foster care, maintain sobriety, reduce debt and learn effective parenting methods. Its properties include eight apartments in Libertyville that are sub-leased to residents at an affordable rate. The average length of stay is nine months, but the program can suit individuals in need of leases between six months and two years in duration.
