Our story

A simple beginning.
A growing community.

A place to belong.
A chance to grow.

Elevate Haven began with a desire to help people find a place to live, feel welcome, and move forward. As we do that work, we’re also creating more ways for people to learn, contribute, and connect.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Kilgore, with a regional mission that includes Longview, Tyler, and surrounding East Texas communities. Our work brings together shared housing, practical life skills, community support, and hands-on work on our garden and animal sanctuary.

Our Christian faith inspires us to care for our neighbors. We welcome people from all backgrounds and believe everyone should be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect.

We already have residents in our community. We’re continuing to improve our homes and develop outdoor spaces with help from volunteers, churches, businesses, and neighbors. This work is happening now, and there is still much to do.

People come to us through local referrals as well as direct inquiries. We value the neighbors and organizations who help connect people with support.

Our mission: To help people build stability, find belonging, and grow through housing, practical support, and community connection.

Our housing offers independent shared living. Personal care, medical care, and 24-hour supervision are not provided.
