SAFE Haven of Racine is a multifaceted nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the lives of children, youth and families across the community. Through a continuum of interconnected programs, SAFE Haven addresses immediate needs while building long-term pathways to stability, self-sufficiency and success.

SAFE Haven’s impact extends well beyond shelter services. Through housing and supportive services for young adults, the organization helps individuals ages 18–24 secure and maintain stable housing while developing the skills needed for independence. Preventative and supportive programming, including family mediation, youth groups and academic support, works to strengthen relationships and reduce the risk of homelessness before it begins.

The organization also offers Girls Inc. of SE Wisconsin, empowering girls to be Strong, Smart, and Bold through research based programming focused on academic enrichment, leadership development and career readiness.

Through Feather a Nest, SAFE Haven ensures that individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness have access to essential furnishings and household items, transforming empty housing into true homes and supporting long-term stability.

SAFE Haven of Racine further invests in early learning through The Academy Early Childhood Center and other year round programs, which provides high quality early childhood education in a nurturing environment that supports school readiness, social emotional development and family engagement.

Together, these programs reflect SAFE Haven’s holistic approach, meeting people where they are, addressing both immediate crises and systemic barriers and creating opportunities for lasting change. Rooted in compassion, dignity and empowerment, SAFE Haven of Racine is committed to building a stronger, more resilient community where every individual has the opportunity to thrive.
