Our History
Bonner County Homeless Task Force was founded in 1991 and opened the first shelter in Sandpoint, Idaho in 1994.
We provide transitional housing and program management services to homeless families and victims of domestic violence in Bonner County,Idaho.
Our goal is to help individuals and families who are homeless, in danger of becoming homeless, or who lack adequate housing reach self-sufficiency and independent living in a safe and supportive environment.
We have so many happy families that have good things to say.
"I moved into Blue Haven after I lost my home. I had been a renter for 7 years and they sold the home and I had nowhere to go. I was working but could not afford the local rents. I have 2 children in school and I had never been so scared. I didn't really have family that would help out and they lived in another state. I found a miracle when I was accepted into Blue Haven. I stayed for almost 2 years and then finally got my own apartment and a new job at the same time. We need more options like Blue Haven. I have no idea what would have happened to me if it had not been an option for me."

"I was headed down an ugly path and found joanne and Mary Jo and they took a
chance on me.. I’m clean and sober for 9 months now and life is good!!!"

"My boyfriend and I are not married and we just had a baby. I am 17 and he is 19. We had nothing. Our families would not help, we were living in the car with our new baby. We were accepted into Blue Haven and now have our own apartment, both of us have jobs, and everyone is very proud of us and our families are helping more. Thank you Blue Haven."

provided to us when we were down and out living in a tent."

"I Don’t know where I would be today if Tami had not decided I was worth saving."
Brenda
"Oh my gosh, what can I say. Blue Haven has been god sent for me and my 4 children. I can’t imagine where I would be today if I was not part of the Blue Haven Family for 16 months."
