MISSION

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

Life Haven opened in 1992 as a non-profit grassroots effort to support families in need.
