Birth Haven

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.

16, Homeless & Pregnant to a Director of a Health Care Agency:

▶️WATCH PATRICIA'S JOURNEY​ OF HOPE NOW
Patricia found Birth Haven in 1997 when she was pregnant and homeless. In her words, she had nowhere to go and no one to turn to. At Birth Haven she found a stable home and a support system that put her on the path to self sufficiency. With the life skills she learned at Birth Haven, Patricia moved forward with her education - eventually becoming the director of a health care agency. All these years later, her son is grown and married with a child of his own.
Watch her story and please consider supporting Birth Haven as we provide shelter and hope for young, homeless mothers in New Jersey as well as the NYC region.
