Haven House Volunteer

MSU student volunteer Lynlee Kooistra found non-profit organization Haven House to be helpful to the Lansing and Ingham County community.

"I wasn’t aware that there were so many families who were struggling to get a roof over their head. And that there was a need in the community for people who need housing," Kooistra said.

Over October 2009 to the end of September 2010, Haven House has housed over 492 homeless individuals, and had to turn away another 796 homeless individuals due to lack of space, according to Haven House records.

Kooistra volunteered her senior year in fall of '09 for her PSY 371 class.
