Birth Haven

Call Directions Website Contact the organization

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.

We are so grateful to Alicia Simons, founder of The Berkana Foundation for dropping off some incredibly thoughtful postpartum care packages for our new moms at Birth Haven!

These beautiful bags are filled with goodies to help our moms feel a little more cared for and celebrated during those early days of motherhood. It means so much to us when members of our community take the time to think about the women we serve; and Alicia truly went above and beyond.

Thank you, Alicia, and The Berkana Foundation, for showing our moms some love and reminding them that their community is cheering them on!

We appreciate your kindness and are excited to see the wonderful things ahead for The Berkana Foundation. 💜
