Living here
Everything about living here.
Who the home is for, what it costs, how the house works, and a look inside. All in one place.
Who it’s for
Women, and mothers with their children
Many homes can’t take children. This one can, because keeping a family under one roof matters.
Women on their own
- A furnished room in a shared home
- Everyone in the house is working toward stability and independence
- Prescribed medication is welcome
- Length of stay is based on your situation and progress
Mothers with children
- Children of any age are welcome
- No set number. It depends on your family and on who else is living in the house
- We talk it through with you first
- Mothers supervise their children at all times
- Family who don’t live here visit with you at the park down the street, not at the house

Cost
Weekly placement fees
At Mary’s Haven on Broad, we recognize that every woman’s journey toward stability and independence is different. Our weekly placement fees range from $125 to $225, based on the level of structure, coordination, and individualized support provided.
Some residents are largely independent, while others benefit from additional accountability, scheduled check-ins, and coordination with referring agencies or community resources. Each placement is evaluated individually to determine the appropriate level of involvement and associated weekly fee.
All placement fees include furnished shared accommodations, utilities, and a structured, substance-free living environment. We accept private-pay placements and work with referring agencies and organizations providing placement funding. Final placement fees are established and communicated before admission.
Included every week
- Furnished shared accommodations and the run of the whole house

Medication
Prescribed medication is welcome
If you take medication as prescribed, including Suboxone, Vivitrol or methadone, you can live here. You won’t be asked to stop taking what your prescriber has given you. The only ask is that you take it as it was prescribed.
You manage your own medication. Sharing, selling or misusing medication is not allowed.
Common questions
Good to know before you apply
How many children can I bring?
There’s no set number. It depends on how many children you have, how old they are, and who else is living in the house right now. We talk it through with you first.
Is food included?
No. Residents are responsible for their own meals. We can share information on local food pantries, clothing resources and community assistance.
Who pays?
Private-pay and agency-funded placements are both welcome. Help from community organizations, churches or other sponsors may be accepted, and we can send an invoice or a W-9.
Can family or friends visit?
Not at the house. No guests or visitors are allowed on the property, and that includes friends, family and partners. It keeps the home safe, private and stable for everyone. Many families spend time together at the park down the street.
Can I bring a pet?
No. Animals are not allowed in the home. A verified service animal may be considered with proper documentation.
