Our Story
Safe Haven for Women began with a simple but powerful belief — that every woman deserves a safe place to heal, rebuild, and thrive. What started as a small outreach effort to help women facing homelessness and hardship has grown into a community-driven organization offering transitional housing, counseling, and empowerment programs for women and families in need.
Founded by Ronnette Boyd, a compassionate advocate who understands the challenges of starting over, Safe Haven for Women was built from lived experience and a deep desire to make a difference. Ronnette envisioned a place where women could find not only shelter but also hope — a place that restores dignity, rebuilds confidence, and renews purpose.
Today, Safe Haven for Women continues to expand its mission across the community, partnering with local agencies, churches, and volunteers to break cycles of poverty, abuse, and instability. Every program, service, and conversation at Safe Haven is guided by one goal: to help women rediscover their strength and reclaim their futures.
Founder’s Message
“When I founded Safe Haven for Women, my goal was simple — to create a space where women could rebuild their lives with dignity, compassion, and hope. I’ve seen firsthand how life’s challenges can break the strongest among us, but I’ve also witnessed the incredible resilience that comes when someone is given a second chance.
Every woman who walks through our doors carries a story — of courage, pain, and perseverance. At Safe Haven, we meet them where they are, offering not just housing or services, but genuine care and community. This organization is a reflection of faith, strength, and love — proof that when women support one another, transformation happens.”
