Life Haven is a temporary shelter providing a safe and nurturing environment for homeless pregnant women and women with young children. We are committed to assisting them in developing skills to help them to live independently.

Life Haven serves 20 families at a time. Over 150 families are sheltered annually, including 250 children. Almost 90 percent of the families entering Life Haven move out into permanent housing in the community. It is our goal to end homelessness, one family at a time.

	Life Haven is one of the leaders in providing childcare for homeless children in the New Haven region. Our childcare program is specifically designed to meet the social, emotional and educational needs of homeless children. Each child is assessed and care plans focus on anger management, selfesteem, and health and safety education.
