Haven House/Bridges, Inc. (HHB), was formed in 1995 by the merger of two separate homeless housing programs.  Haven House was established by the Huntington Coalition for the Homeless in 1988.  Also opened in 1988, Bridges was initiated by Transitional Services of New York for Long Island, Inc. (TSLI).  Though separately incorporated, TSLI and HHB are under the same management.  TSLI and HHB are not-for-profit corporations with 501(c)(3) status.
