PHOTOS: The Haven, a new emergency shelter for seniors in Phoenix
Roughly two years ago, there were plans to open an emergency shelter specifically for unhoused people age 55 and older. But construction and permit delays pushed the timeline back. The Haven, as it’s called, finally opened its doors Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025.
