Nueva Vida
Nueva Vida Haven (emergency overnight shelter for women and children)
In 2000, San Diego Rescue Mission opened Nueva Vida Haven (NVH) in response to the increasing need for emergency shelter services for homeless families.
Each night, up to 60 battered, homeless, or poor women and children, 12 and under, turn to the Mission.
We provide:
Hot dinners
Clean clothes
Showers
Hygiene Products
Play area for the children
Warm blankets, sheets, and pillows
Hot breakfasts
Staff meet with the women to determine the best course of action for life improvement.
Often, that next best step is to enter our Women & Children's Center long-term recovery program.
