Our Story

Since 1993 Haven House has served as a non-profit domestic violence shelter and a provider of support and intervention services for women in crisis and their children. By offering emergency shelter, counseling, court advocacy, referrals and transitional living opportunities, Haven House aims to provide an opportunity for women to rebuild a positive self-image necessary for them to regain control of their lives.

What We Do

Haven House has many partnerships, to both support the needs of victims of domestic violence and to create social change in our community. We work through the year to review how domestic violence cases are handled in the court system, how survivors are supported in these cases, and how batterers are held accountable. Haven House also leads and partners in local and regional task forces, to address community challenges, resource needs, and related areas.

Creating social change also means taking our awareness efforts directly into the community. Haven House maintains a staff speaker’s bureau and survivor speaker’s bureau to educate businesses, social clubs, religious organizations, and others.
