The Granite Insurance Foundation is hosting our 3rd Annual Casino Night Fundraiser.
Building Homes, Restoring Lives
This year, we’re partnering with Safe Harbor, a nonprofit providing shelter, support, and restoration for women overcoming addiction, abuse, and homelessness. Our goal is to raise $165,000 over the next 3 years to help Safe Harbor build three transitional homes on their campus—safe, supportive spaces where women can rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
The Haven at Safe Harbor
The Haven will be a significant addition to Safe Harbor’s Continuum of Care, enhancing our ability to support women at every stage of their journey from crisis to stability to independence.
Located on our existing campus, The Haven will be a charming, intentional community featuring eleven 256-square-foot homes, each:
- Built on permanent foundations
- Equipped with city water and sewer
- Beautifully landscaped to create a peaceful, welcoming environment
More than just a housing solution, The Haven will offer women and their children a safe, stable, and dignified place to live while they access essential programs and services designed to help them rebuild and regain independence.
This supportive living environment is designed for:
- Women and families who are displaced or experiencing homelessness
- Those awaiting a program bed
- Graduates of Safe Harbor programs who need a transitional next step toward permanent housing
Beyond shelter, The Haven provides resources, community, and individualized support to foster long-term healing, growth, and self-sufficiency—ultimately creating a sustainable path to lasting independence.
