A Tiny House Community For Veterans
About Us
"Never leave someone behind. That was our pledge in the military and as a police officer. When you retire or move on, that doesn’t go away.” Donnie Davis
The statistics are staggering. 22 Veterans take their lives due to PTSD every day. Operation Safe Haven wants to change that.
Operation Safe Haven wants to bridge that gap...
The current federal and state systems set up to deal with the transition and life after military service are unable to meet all of the tremendous needs of veterans. That is not to say these programs are not helpful, but more is needed. Amazing Grace has purchased this 277 acre campground in Franklinville NJ with the simple goal to provide veterans with a place of true rest and relaxation.
More than just free housing...
Working with Federal, State and local agencies, Operation Safe Haven will provide our veterans with 300 square foot micro-houses nestled in the quiet surroundings of a 277 acre campground with a 65 acre lake where they can focus on getting "squared away" through various programs designed to give them the tools needed to adapt and overcome the struggles of PTSD.

In 2014, Donnie Davis got a phone call about a local campground in southern New Jersey that was up for sale. A crazy idea popped into his head. It would require a lot of money and hard work, but it had the potential to help countless neighbors and families.
