The Haven of Grace

Our first tier is our maternity center. We provide food, shelter and basic needs for up to 10 pregnant mothers (18 and older) and their young children (if any) at a time. Our campus is a safe and nurturing home for The women while they prepare for a healthy delivery and stabilize their path for creating a safe and nurturing environment for The whole family. We are working to expand our educational offerings and continue our efforts to become a trauma-informed service organization.

Residents who successfully complete The residential program are eligible to enroll in our unique 10-year aftercare program our third tier. This program helps prevent subsequent bouts of homelessness and supports The families' paths toward economic stability. Aftercare services are provided as needed as we work to keep in touch with The women once they are settled back in The community.these services can include assistance with moving expenses and needed household items, furniture donations, childcare stipends, college scholarships, micro-lending funds, a new home buyer's club, holiday giving, support groups, educational workshops and regular access to a family support specialist (continued on schedule o)who provides home visits and ongoing referrals, guidance and support.

The Haven of Grace added our second tier - The quadrangle transitional apartments - for young mothers who needed more time to get on their feet to live independently within The safety net they'd already established with The Haven. These transitional apartments are The very spot we see these young mothers gain The confidence and control to direct their lives with intention rather than survive them. Many of The babies born in The maternity shelter become toddlers here and we have The beautiful joy of watching a family grow together. Tenants in "The quad" pay 30% of their income for rent and can reside in The fully furnished apartments for up to two years.
