Mission: Haven House was founded in 1964 and was the first shelter of its kind in the United States. It has served as a prototype for many other shelters nationally. It has also hosted interested individuals from all over the world.
Our primary purpose is to assist battered women and their children by providing safe shelter, counseling services for both adults and children, follow-up support, and education about domestic violence so that when they leave Haven House, they have the tools to live their lives free of violence. Our secondary purpose is to educate the public about the problem of domestic violence and advocate for the needs of battered women with makers of public policy.
It is Haven House's philosophy that battered women are not "sick" and do not need treatment. They have a situational problem that is not their fault.
I will always be grateful for The Haven House. In June 1982 I was guided there by the City of Industry Sheriffs Department with 4 children, one only being 3 months old 3 others under 8 years I’m 70 years old now, and I always will cherish the compassion and kindness that was given to us. We stayed 4 months and reunited with my husband. Eventually we divorced in 1995. I have HH in my living trust to give back when I leave this earth God Bless this treasure of love
Haven House is the first shelter in CA. They have been helping mothers and their children since 1964. This shelter is for survivors or domestic violence. Is a beautiful shelter that has individual cottages. This shelter can host up to 6 families at a time. They accept male teens up to the age of 17. The cottages are beautiful and clean, food is provided for the 30 day stay. I have been involved with Haven House for 12 years their hotline number is 323-681-2626 they are incredible. Please help me, help them. Thanks Trini Nunez
