Butterfly’s Haven is more than shared housing; we are a community that offers women and their children a beautiful, safe place to call home. Butterfly’s Haven fosters love and togetherness while providing life-changing support to unhoused women on a journey to develop the necessary skills to be self-sufficient and majestically soar. Our first community is located in the heart of Los Angeles, California. A newly renovated state-of-the-art 20 bedroom/20 bathroom residence for women and their children experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness.
My name is Brittany Walker, proud single mother of four loving children and founder of Butterfly’s Haven. Seven years ago, I was homeless – living on the street with my children after escaping my abuser. I experienced unimaginable challenges and faced the harsh realities of living without safety and shelter for myself and my children during this time. It was then that I dedicated my life’s work to empowering survivors and tackling these intractable issues that plague my community, women, and children – just like me. I worked as a Case Manager and a Housing Navigator for several shelters while running and operating a Mothers Support Group called Mothers Strengthening Mothers. I also obtained my Human Resources Certification from Loyola Marymount University. With a passionate desire to continue serving my community, I opened Butterfly’s Haven. Butterfly’s Haven is more than shared housing; it is a place to call home. We curate support with kindness and harness the power of community to manifest a safe space for unhoused women and children to champion long-term self-sufficiency and achieve their wildest dreams. At Butterfly’s Haven, we are a family. As living proof that we can all be victorious, I am excited to share this opportunity and grow a robust and powerful network of women with unlimited potential.
