SmartHaven Foundation was created from a place of lived experience—not theory. Our founder knows firsthand what it feels like to face instability, hardship, and life-altering challenges with nowhere to turn. After surviving domestic violence, aging out of the foster care system, and rebuilding life from the ground up, she learned one powerful truth: people don't just need housing. They need a fresh start, support, dignity, and a path forward. SmartHaven was built for that exact purpose. Today, we provide safe, stable shared housing for individuals who are ready to rebuild their lives but simply need a foundation to stand on.
