Bio
I truly am humbled and blessed to be a part of this special organization. I give honor to the hard-working leaders who have gone before me in bringing life to this outreach. I do not have a personal history with addiction, but it has touched my life through loved ones in a deeply personal way.
I believe that ALL human beings can experience victory, live lives of self-control and peace, and bring their best selves to their community. I also believe every human being needs a safe place to call home.

Bio
I have the great privilege of being a father of 3 and a grandfather of 11. Over the past 42 years I have been a contractor, business owner, and enjoyed serving my community in various ways. Through these years, I have seen and personally felt the pain and destruction of individuals and families caught up in addiction. I have found that when someone really desires to live in sobriety and the freedom that is available to them, it not only changes their life but it changes the lives of all the people around them.
NICK UNGER
Vice President
Bio
I have spent 20 years of my life in active addiction... I was born and raised in Alaska, and I moved down to Oregon in 2009 because I thought if I changed my environment, then I would stop using drugs and be able to get better.
But everywhere you go there, you are, so my addiction took hold of me again and I found myself homeless on the streets of Portland.
DANI SMITH
Client Services Director
When I first moved into Haven Homes I was totally unsure of how it was going to go. I didn't want to live with a bunch of people I did not know. That quickly changed and I ended up really enjoying my time at Haven Homes. There was always someone I could talk to when I was feeling down and I was able to help support so many people through their own personal struggles. If I ever need to live in community living again Haven Homes would be my first, last, and only choice.
