Anyone experiencing physical, emotional, financial, psychological or other abuse or harassment at the hands of an intimate partner, sex trafficker or stalker. These forms of abuse do not discriminate, and Haven is inclusive of all backgrounds and identities.
Opened in 2023, Haven’s shelter was designed specifically to help heal trauma – both buildings on the campus have long lines of sight, excellent lighting, and many windows, to help people feel a sense of safety on the property. Haven’s shelter is a secure, disclosed location. Residents can come and go freely. Their friends can pick them up, and screened/approved case workers can visit them at our location.

The Barnard Center is at 132 Pond Row in Bozeman.
