Haven House respects the confidentiality of all clients residing at the shelter. We rarely share client-specific information, and when we do it is under the following guidelines:
- With written permission from the family
- When required by a court order
- If someone is potentially in danger, and the release of information can alleviate the threat
- When we receive a call asking for a specific client whether past or present, staff respects our clients’ privacy so a written message will be taken and given to case management to share with them.
