What SafeHaven of Tarrant County does

The Archway (formerly SafeHaven of Tarrant County) is a private nonprofit organization founded in 1975 that provides comprehensive domestic violence support services across Tarrant County, Texas. Headquartered at 1010 N. Center Street in Arlington, the organization operates The Safe Five, an integrated five-component survivor service model comprising 24/7 crisis hotline support (1-877-701-7233), personalized safety planning, emergency shelter and transitional housing, specialized services for children of survivors, and legal advocacy including protective order assistance. Beyond direct survivor services, the organization runs the PAIP (Personhood Accountability Intervention Program) for court-referred offenders, school-based prevention education, expert testimony for legal proceedings, and the Tarrant County Fatality Review.

The organization is funded through a mix of local, state, and federal government contracts; individual and corporate donations; revenue from its Berry Good Buys thrift store; and special events including Celebrity Chefs and the Purple Party. All direct services are provided at no cost to survivors. The Archway also operates a Research and Innovation division that has developed the Dominant Aggressor Tool, an innovation currently being piloted nationwide to help correctly identify the primary aggressor in domestic violence incidents and prevent victim misclassification.

In 2024, the organization rebranded from SafeHaven of Tarrant County to The Archway, marking 50 years of operation with a renewed positioning that balances direct survivor services with systemic violence prevention. The organization's leadership, notably Dr. Kathryn Jacob, has been recognized at the state level through appointment to the Texas Family Violence Criminal Homicide Prevention Task Force by Governor Abbott. The Archway holds GuideStar/Candid Platinum Transparency 2025 certification and is a designated partner of United Way of Tarrant County. The organization is independently governed with no parent company and no institutional investors.
