Coburn Place Safe Haven provides women who have suffered from domestic violence and their children a chance to start anew, to finally accomplish a dream that an abusive partner and circumstances prevented. We provide safe, affordable housing with fully furnished apartments. We provide the encouragement and supportive services necessary for self-sufficiency. And we provide time, six months up to two years, to begin healing and move toward a life of independent living.
What the women say about Coburn Place
"I really appreciate the opportunity I had for 2 years to participate in Coburn's Program, it has helped me tremendously. I cannot put into words how grateful I am for Coburn Place Safe Haven and it's Therapy Programs, Children's Program, and Safe housing. From the bottom of my heart, I want the world to know what Domestic Violence is, and to help other women and children escape their situations and be "free" and have a "healthy healing opportunity " such as Coburn offers." - "Shenia", former Coburn Place resident
