OK so they put me in an area that I begged them not to a townhouse with an electric bill and a water bill I had to keep up the MaintenanceAs far as keeping the grass cutThat was kinda hard on me as wellBut overall I was scared to bring my daughterTo the neighborhood because of all the violence and gun shootingAndI went through Safe Haven because I'm a battered woman and the landlord was very mean I thought maybe he was racist and after I graduated from Safe haven's program I lost everything the house my section 8 voucher and now I'm back with my abuser

Yes. Also, they partnered with ThriftSmart on Nolensville Rd. When you donate there, tell them it's for Safe Haven. Families receive vouchers for those items.

How does this place work and what all do they offer does the family get to stay together do they put everyone in one big room

Jessica Bates | Oct 10, 2019
C. Michael Fisher | Oct 10, 2019

The family does get to stay together. Before a family is given a room, they must be placed on the waiting list through the Coordinated Entry System, the family has to be 100% homeless or facing eviction, as well as residing in Davidson County. I hope this helps.

I'm coming from Memphis with my 12yr old daughter and my 17yr old son. I lost my job and I've been unable to keep our apartment. The Memphis shelters are not safe and they always try to separate my son. So I'm wondering will we be accepted for help?

They like to keep families together, but call them to make sure they have availability and to also pose your question.

Do they help you with job search

Danny Price | Sep 9, 2022

From my understanding they do.

I'm an international student getting stuck in the US since covid came and my funds got affected. I am looking for places to stay and things to do because I do not have a sociasecurity number. If allowed can I come stay there for free and help?

I saw your post about pediatricians at Meharry for your son. Switch to Dr Dontal Johnson there. He's the best with children and he cares!

Safe haven shelter

Do you expect family

Natasha Williams | Oct 10, 2019
ChadandBrit Akers | Oct 10, 2019

What's the question? Do they accept families? If so yes they do but dont expect much help. If you can get everything you need in order quickly it's a good place but if you have any trouble finding a job, transportation after you leave etc. They basically just drop you on your head.

My husband recently lost his job. So shortly thereafter we lost our home. It's me, my husband and our 4 cats that all have crates. Would we be accepted in the shelter, including our cats? We are at my parents' house, same abuse as when I was a kid.

Joyce Goodman | Oct 10, 2019
Byron Saunders | Oct 10, 2019

At one time we did direct referrals by calling us now all referrals go through Department of Human Services but we do not allow animals at Safe Haven family shelter the animals may be able to go into a shelter temporarily but it's a definite that you and your husband will be eligible to come to Safe Haven family shelter but we do not accept animals with the families

Do they accept single adults?

Tonya Little | Oct 10, 2018
TJ Swanson | Oct 10, 2019
