Organization
The Haven of Grace provides a safe, nurturing home, educational programs, and long-term support for mothers and children to heal from trauma and envision a new life for themselves. The Haven of Grace has three programs: the Maternity Shelter where new mothers can focus on their basic needs and settle in a safe place before and after delivering their baby; the Transitional Apartments where clients can move into secure, furnished apartments, stay for up to 2 years while working toward educational goals, and save for a move back into the community; and the Ten-Year Aftercare Program which provides long-term, family-like support for women working toward self-sufficiency, offering housing start-up funds, life skills workshops, book stipends, scholarships, emergency assistance, continued case management, and services for children.
Partnership #1 (2024)
The Haven of Grace Funds identified that the children in its programs need additional services to better address experiences of trauma, homelessness and poverty, and are enhancing their Children’s Mental Health Care programming to best meet these needs by including: increasing the quality of educational classes, building up their staff’s capacity for trauma-informed care to meet the extensive mental health needs, literacy classes, healthy parent-child attachments, and mentoring. The Brown Sisters Foundation issued a challenge grant to support their efforts to enhance their Children’s Mental Health Care program, and inspire gifts from new and existing donors.
