Haven Sanctuary for Women (Haven) is a non-profit organization based in Greenwood, Indiana, working to improve the lives of single and homeless mothers since 2009.

​

Heartbreaking statistics serve as the driving force behind the goal of Haven to provide a way for women to meet the needs of their families. 

 

• Statistically, single moms and women are the fastest growing population of homeless in the U.S.  The term ‘homelessness’ is not limited to those living on the streets.  In some cases ‘homelessness’ is ‘couch hopping’.  Many do not know where they will sleep from night to night.

 

• The Indiana Minimum Wage will only cover approximately 50% of the cost of a two-bedroom apartment at fair market rent in Indiana. Even if fortunate enough to locate a one-bedroom apartment, expenses associated with an apartment would consume most if not all of a paycheck.  This leaves no resources for food, medical care, transportation, childcare, etc.
