;IGYSIX is a veteran term used to indicate to those contemplating suicide that they are not alone, their brothers and sisters in arms have their back, their 6 O'Clock. Haven for Heroes, founded in December of 2018, is a stand-alone, non-profit, substance and alcohol-free board and lodging facility, that provides recovery and transitional housing to service members and veterans. Services are either brought in from the surrounding community, or veterans will have access to services and various activities in this community—including those provided by the VA, or in cooperation with the VA, and other supportive entities. The Anoka Community has preserved, restored, and provided these historical Cottages and Auditorium for the purpose of helping veterans. This is a grateful community filled with those who have served, past and present, and civilians who are appreciative, thankful, and eager to give back to the heroes.
