We help young people find home and hope
Peace Haven Homes provides stable housing, shelter, jobs, and support to foster children and homeless teens in Detroit.
Built on a commitment to Detroit's most vulnerable youth
Peace Haven Homes was founded to address a critical gap: foster children and homeless teens in Detroit had nowhere to turn for stable housing, career support, and real opportunity. We started small, driven by the belief that every young person deserves a safe home and a path forward. Today, we continue that mission by providing emergency shelter, job placement assistance, and after-school programs that help youth build the foundation they need to thrive in our community.
