About Rise Haven

A haven for women rebuilding their lives

Rise Haven Women's Foundation is a Georgia nonprofit serving women and families affected by domestic violence with housing assistance, advocacy, education, and community care.

Our Mission

To empower women affected by domestic violence by providing support, resources, housing assistance, and opportunities for rebuilding independent lives — without cost and without judgment.

Our Vision

A Georgia where every woman has a safe place to sleep, a community that believes her, and a clear path toward lasting independence.

Core Values

Four commitments shape how we serve every woman who reaches out.

  • Safety First

    Confidentiality and safety planning guide every decision we make.

  • Dignity Always

    Women are met with respect, never judgment, at every stage.

  • Community

    Healing happens in relationship, not in isolation.

  • Empowerment

    We build capability, not dependency — independence is the goal.

Our Story

Rise Haven began the way most community work does — with women helping women. What started as informal support, a spare room, a ride to court, and a shared grocery run grew into a foundation built to meet the same needs with consistency.

Today we operate out of Peachtree Corners, Georgia, serving Gwinnett County and metro Atlanta. Our approach hasn't changed: listen first, remove barriers quickly, and stay present long after the crisis passes.

Who We Serve

  • Women leaving or recovering from abusive relationships
  • Mothers and children needing safe, stable housing
  • Women facing housing instability after a crisis
  • Survivors rebuilding financial and career independence
