How long can someone stay at Pond Row?
We have a six-month stay limit for people staying in our emergency shelter rooms and an 18-month stay limit for people in our Supportive Transitions program. While in our residential programs, survivors have the option of meeting with advocates to get support with creating a plan to exit the program.
Can children stay in shelter, too?
Children may stay at the shelter with their parent or guardian. An adult participant with accompanying children will most likely share a room with them.
Does Haven help men?
Yes, we support male survivors. Our shelter is gender-inclusive, as are all of our services.
How much stuff can a person bring to shelter?
We don’t have room for storage in the shelter, so we ask that participants limit their belongings to one or two bags per person.
Where is the shelter?
In Bozeman, at 132 Pond Row.
What is support group?
Many survivors say that the most helpful thing they have done is meeting other survivors and discussing common problems. Our current support group helps people who are in all different stages of domestic violence. The group discussion is mediated by a trained support group facilitator.
How much does it cost to file an order of protection?
It’s free. Contact Haven’s 24-hour support line at 406-586-4111 to connect with our Survivor Legal Services team. They may be able to assist you.
Does someone need to report to the police if they want to file for an order of protection?
No. You may be eligible for an order of protection whether or not you've reported abuse to law enforcement, filed charges, or participated in the criminal prosecution of the perpetrator.
