Haywood Pathways Center is a faith based 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization in Haywood County that provides adult and family emergency shelter, a short term residential program for individuals seeking life transformation, and a community kitchen providing meals to those living in the shelter and within our community.
Our services are open to residents of Haywood County regardless of age, race, gender, religion or nationality.
Haywood County Residents who are sober and drug free are never turned away for a short stay, but participation in the short term residential program requires the commitment to create and work on an individualized goal plan with our case management team which addresses 6 focus areas:
Income
Reintegration/Housing
Rehabilitation
Life Skills
Social Support
Spirituality
Haywood Pathways Center is supported by individuals, churches of all denominations, community organizations, businesses, private foundations and corporate grants who believe all people are God’s people.
Haywood Pathways Center provides overnight and/or short term shelter for residents of Haywood County in crisis, or experiencing chronic homelessness. Typical length of stay: 1-3 nights
Haywood Pathways Center provides short-term residential shelter services to homeless Mother's and their children. Call (828) 246-0332 to request a phone screening for Family Shelter. (Haywood County Residency Requirement)
Haywood Pathways Center requires all residents to participate in professional one on one Case Management Services on a weekly basis.
An individualized, person-centered plan is developed by an experienced Case Manager who considers the unique factors causing homelessness. A plan is then created to help each resident achieve self-sufficiency. Program Length of Stay: 6 Months
The Day Labor Program provides pre-screened Pathways residents with the opportunity to work on a day by day basis, allowing them to earn a wage and save for housing. Perfect help for your project or 'honey-do' list. Call the office if you'd like to hire help.
We offer breakfast, bagged lunches, and a 'home-style' dinner served each night in our Dining Room. Community members in need of a meal are welcome to come for dinner between 5:30 and 7:00pm each night.

We can’t do it without YOU.
As we work together to meet the needs of Haywood County’s less fortunate we depend on people like you to help achieve our goal of true life transformation. Whether a one time gift or a monthly partnership…Thank you!
We continue to need and accept financial contributions, but did you know we also accept everyday items that are used to meet the personal care needs of our guests. Please see our list for the most current requests.
We have seen lives transformed—through prayer, staff support, gifted volunteers and access to resources- such as individualized Case Management, life skills training and job search assistance. We strongly believe, with your help, we have a chance to make a positive impact on residents of Haywood County who suffer from homelessness. Our goal is to provide a hand up rather than a hand out.
The Myr-Ken Family Dorm finally opened June 21st, 2019. Thank you to the community and innumerable donors who helped make this dream a reality!
