The Haven Shelter

The Haven Shelter provides refuge and support services for people facing homelessness and housing insecurity across Cape Town. Whether someone has lost accommodation suddenly, is fleeing an unsafe situation, or needs emergency assistance, the centre connects them with practical resources—from temporary shelter to meals, counselling, and pathways toward longer-term stability. In a city where housing pressure and economic hardship affect thousands, having accessible emergency support can mean the difference between crisis and recovery. The organisation works to address immediate needs while helping people rebuild independence and access housing solutions. Those in desperate circumstances or seeking to support vulnerable neighbours should reach out to understand what assistance is available.
