Company Description

Tri-Valley Haven is a vital community organization that serves adults and children who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, or homelessness in the Tri-Valley area.

We envision a world and society full of beloved communities and safe families where every individual has the resources and conditions they need to thrive and resolve conflict. Violence is no longer an outcome of conflict.

Core values that guide us are: Equity, Inclusion, Kindness and Compassion, Integrity, Self Determination, Mutual Care, and Thriving.

We are a safe place for individuals who need to heal and to be protected before moving forward. For over four decades, Tri-Valley Haven has strengthened people’s lives, building a culture of personal empowerment for those who are most vulnerable.

We envision a world without violence. Sadly, rape, physical and mental abuse, and homelessness occur in our communities, regardless of class or color. Tri-Valley Haven programs offer hope and assistance including shelter, food, advocacy and counseling. Someone in your neighborhood may be alive because the Haven was there to help.

Tri-Valley Haven seeks to build a more peaceful society, one person, one family, one community at a time. Together we can build a Tri-Valley without violence.
