Houma Nonprofit of the Month: The Haven – A Safe Space for Survivors

This month, we are honored to spotlight The Haven, a nonprofit that has been a lifeline for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Assumption, Lafourche, and Terrebonne parishes since 1993. The Haven provides emergency shelter, medical care, counseling, and legal assistance to over 500 families every year, helping them rebuild their lives with dignity and support.

Why The Haven’s Work Matters

For survivors of family violence and sexual assault, safety is not guaranteed. Many individuals and families seeking help face immediate danger, and The Haven provides them with a secure place to heal, access critical resources, and reclaim their independence.

What sets The Haven apart is their individualized approach—they work closely with survivors to understand their unique circumstances, break down barriers, and provide the exact support they need to move forward.

How You Can Support The Haven

💜 Attend Their Annual Fundraiser – March 22, 2025
The Haven hosts only one fundraiser per year, and the proceeds are vital to keeping their shelter open and accessible without a waiting list. By attending or spreading the word, you are helping ensure survivors have immediate access to safe housing, advocacy, and life-changing services.

💜 Volunteer Your Time
The Haven welcomes volunteers to assist with various initiatives, including supporting their annual fundraiser. If you’re looking for a way to give back, this is a chance to make a real difference in the lives of those in need.
