Birth Haven

Birth Haven is an independent, non-sectarian, non-profit organization that provides shelter, support, and education for homeless, pregnant women and girls.

The agency provides a safe and nurturing environment in which to carry an unexpected pregnancy to term, while additionally helping the resident learn the tools necessary to achieve greater self-sufficiency. Individuals served by the organization include both those who intend to raise their child after delivery and those who opt for adoption placement. Most residents stay at Birth Haven throughout their pregnancy and up until 6 weeks after the baby’s birth, exceptions are made when it is in the best interest of the mother and infant. Most of the residents who come to Birth Haven are in significant crisis. Many prospective participants are already homeless or are at risk of abuse in their current living situation. For some, reunification with family or partners is possible, after personal growth is attained through the individual therapy that Birth Haven provides. While others set out on their own after the baby is born with a new found independence and valuable life skills learned during their stay.

🎁 On this Giving Tuesday, hope begins with you.

For 40 years, young mothers have walked through our doors scared, alone, and unsure of tomorrow — and because of people like you, they found safety, compassion, and a chance to rebuild.

Today, we honor that legacy.
And today, we ask you to help carry it forward.

✨ Watch the story. Feel the impact.
💛 Give today and be the hope a mother needs this season.
