A home for you both.
You have questions — How does a maternity home work? Who qualifies? What if I’m not ready for a baby? The Haven is a unique opportunity to calm the chaos. It doesn’t matter what you bring with you, grace will meet you here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can live here?
The Haven is a maternity and transitional home for women 18 and older. Women who live here can be young or further along in life, single or in a relationship, hesitant or confident about moving forward, and so much more. Women struggling with unstable housing during pregnancy can move in and stay until 18 months after their baby is born. There is a place for you here!
How long can The Haven be my home?
The Haven accepts women during pregnancy, and they can stay until their baby is 18 months old, or up to six months after delivery if placing for adoption. This isn’t just temporary shelter — you will have enough time in our home to experience and leave with lasting stability. We are committed to you.
Can I bring my other children?
The Haven can currently accept only pregnant mamas and the baby they are carrying (or babies — hello twins!). Though we understand that potential residents may have other children in their care, alternate arrangements will need to be made for them. However, visitation and strong involvement are highly encouraged.
How many women live at The Haven?
The Haven has space for up to four mamas (and their babies) to have beautiful, custom individual rooms and shared common areas. Though each woman will be on her own path, community is encouraged!
How does it work? How do I apply?
From the initial inquiry to move-in day, we want to help you decide if The Haven is right for you. Our staff will walk you through the application and interview process. This process takes anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks. Call us at 270-234-1122 (extension 5) or visit the Get Started page and a Haven staff member will call you back by the end of the next business day.
What about adoption?
If you’re interested in adoption: We are completely here for you as you make a brave and loving adoption choice. We can connect you with our partner adoption agencies while being an emotional support to you through that process.
If adoption is not for you: You don’t have to set up an adoption plan to stay at The Haven. We want to empower you to be the best mama you can be!
Is The Haven a homeless shelter?
No; The Haven is a residential program for pregnant women who are ready for long-term solutions beyond a bed for the night. Our program is designed to help women build strong futures for themselves and their babies!
How much does it cost?
At The Haven, you do not have to worry about rent, utility bills, or transportation. Our home is a completely free, safe place for women and babies to experience rest and stability.
How can I donate to or support the Haven?
The Haven was built and is generously funded by our community — we couldn’t do it without you! To donate or volunteer, visit our Support The Haven page.
