How You Can Help
Welcome to Bethany Haven!
Bethany Haven is the parent organization for four programs that serve homeless men, women and children in Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky.
- Christy’s Place, our 24-hour homeless shelter for women (with or without children).
- Harbour House Inn, our 24-hour homeless shelter for men (with or without children).
- Room in the Inn, emergency overnight shelter for men, women and children (operated through partnerships with local volunteers and church host sites.
- Street Outreach, engaging and addressing the immediate needs to those who are homeless and living unsheltered.
At Bethany Haven, we help people get back on their feet.
When someone is worried about where they’ll sleep or what they’ll eat, it’s nearly impossible to focus on anything else. That’s why we provide food, shelter, housing-focused case management, referrals, and advocacy; meeting immediate needs so participants can begin to look beyond the crisis and work toward a better future for themselves and their families.

The facility includes three shared bathrooms and common areas such as a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room, and a dedicated playroom for children.
Harbour House Inn
Harbour House Inn offers three shared bedrooms with a total of eight beds, including three accessible beds, and two shared bathrooms. Common areas include a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, and a comfortable living room, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for our guests.
