Dignified housing. Wrap-around support. A standard of care.
A Nevada nonprofit corporation delivering stable housing and wrap-around support to survivors of domestic violence, adults with disabilities, and justice-impacted individuals in active recovery.
Mission
The Gregg-Haynes Foundation, Inc. exists to deliver stable, dignified housing and wrap-around support to survivors of domestic violence, adults with disabilities, and justice-impacted individuals in active recovery. The Foundation operates residences, administers programs, and holds property in trust for the people it serves — under a single, cohesive standard of care.
— GHF Mission Statement, verbatim
The Six Standards.
The Six Standards are the Foundation's governing framework. They are ranked in order. When two Standards appear to conflict, Presence is the tie-breaker — the Foundation chooses the option that keeps it present with the resident.
Dignity.
Every person served is treated as a full human being with agency, history, and worth. No program decision is made that subtracts dignity from a resident for administrative convenience.
Presence.
The Foundation shows up — physically, emotionally, and procedurally. Those who serve residents are trained to be present with them, not just around them. Presence is the tie-breaker when two Six Standards values come into apparent conflict.
Safety.
Physical, emotional, and psychological safety are baseline conditions, not amenities. No program activity or operational decision is allowed to compromise safety.
Privacy.
Resident information, whereabouts, and personal circumstances are protected under a tiered confidentiality standard that aligns with 42 CFR Part 2, VAWA, HIPAA where applicable, and the Fair Housing Act.
Honesty.
The Foundation tells the truth to residents, regulators, and the public. Bad news is communicated plainly and promptly.
Accountability.
Every promise the Foundation makes is tracked to completion. Every incident is documented. Every complaint is answered in writing. No one in the Foundation — including the Authorized Signer — is above the Six Standards.
“When dignity breaks, everything downstream breaks with it — intake, trust, stability, outcomes.”
— GHF Moral Framework
Who the Foundation serves.
- Survivors of domestic violence
- Adults with disabilities
- Justice-impacted individuals in active recovery
- Underserved communities in Las Vegas, Nevada — with national replication as the long-term intention
The Foundation operates residences, shelters, and transitional homes. Properties are held in trust for the people served. A six-phase housing acquisition workflow governs every property before any resident is admitted, and the Foundation maintains ongoing compliance with the Violence Against Women Act, 42 CFR Part 2, and the Fair Housing Act.
The name is a memorial, not a brand.
Every residence operated by the Foundation is named after a family member who has passed on. Each name honors the memory of a person who embodied the Six Standards. Names survive renovation, refinancing, rebranding, relocation, and succession. No residence is ever renamed after an outside party.
The covenant is a Protected Provision of the Foundation's bylaws. It cannot be modified by a simple majority.
“Every house the Foundation runs is named after a family member who has passed on. The name never changes. The house is held inside the bloodline forever. This rule cannot be watered down by a simple majority — it takes three-quarters of the Board and the Founder or Successor signing off in writing.”
One system, two structures.
The Foundation has one sister entity: Street Theatre Clothing, LTD. The two organizations share core values, mission orientation, and vision. Street Theatre Clothing, LTD is a designated recipient of Foundation programs the Board may authorize from time to time.
Together, the two organizations form an integrated ecosystem: one creates dignified contracted work, the other creates stable homes. Both serve overlapping populations. Both operate from the same moral framework — People Over Profits.
“The Foundation shows up when it says it will.”
