LI Real Estate Group contributes $30,000 to Haven House/Bridges Inc.

The Long Island Real Estate Group has contributed $30,000 to Haven House / Bridges Inc. Haven House / Bridges Inc. provides emergency housing and support services to homeless families. The organization will use the LIREG donation to build an extension at its Brentwood facility. The funds were raised through LIREG's Casino Night held last June at the Meadowbrook Pointe Clubhouse. Arthur Katz, LIREG's charity committee chair said, "We hope, that in addition to our organization's gifts to these many worthwhile recipients, that our membership becomes familiar with the wonderful work of these charities and inspires additional private and corporate contributions." Haven House/Bridge's emergency shelter programs provide temporary housing for homeless families in Suffolk County through a contract with the Suffolk County Department of Social Services. HHB shelters include 24-hour supervised, congregate shelters and more independent, scattered-site apartments. Families generally start out in one of the congregate shelters, then move into a scattered-site apartment when they become more independent. The primary goal is to assist families to obtain permanent housing. HHB staff assist families with all aspects of housing search as well as the transition into permanent housing.
