CHILD HAVEN
Child Haven is Clark County’s only public shelter for abused and neglected children. It is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and opens its doors to children from 3 days to 18 years old. This protective environment cares for children until charges against their parents or guardians have been resolved, or until a safe home is found.
The Foundation has contributed more than $1.5 million for much-needed educational and medical facilities at Child Haven. The Agassi Center for Education was built in 1997 to help children keep up with schoolwork while at the facility. The Andre Agassi Cottage for Medically Fragile Children followed in 2001, creating the first dedicated medical facility at Child Haven.
