SafeHaven is the only state designated family violence center in Tarrant County. We began in 1976 as two agencies: The Women’s Haven in Fort Worth and The Women’s Shelter in Arlington. In 2006, the two agencies merged to become SafeHaven of Tarrant County.
Over our 45+ year history, we’ve never strayed from our mission: to end domestic violence in Tarrant County. Everything we do is with the end goal of providing freedom for survivors of domestic violence.
SafeHaven works to end domestic violence in a two-fold manner:
1. Keep victims safe
2. Hold offenders accountable
We are here to take care of the most vulnerable, to keep them safe, and to serve them wherever they are on their journey to escape domestic violence. Our services aren’t one-size-fits-all – that’s why we provide robust resources from the county’s only domestic violence shelters and transitional housing, to counseling and legal aid. We want to meet survivors where they are.
