Capital Campaign "A Home For Everyone"
In Spring 2007 HHCS began its capital campaign to raise $165,000, as part of a
matching grant, to purchase an eight-unit apartment building in Superior. The building
would be utilized for Transitional Living, allowing homeless women and families to move
from homelessness to permanent housing. The DeAtley Family Foundation has granted HHCS
an extension to June 30, 2008, to match capital funds up to $165,000. As of
the end of March 2008, we have received $109,157 in cash and pledges. The DeAtley
Family Foundation's six-month extension will allow HHCS to raise the remaining $55,843.

Our Programs
Harbor House Crisis Shelters (HHCS) receive referrals from social service
agencies, law enforcement officials, and community organizations. Referrals
are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Referrals can be made
Monday through Friday from 9am until 4pm.
Our programming requires all adult guests, over age 17, receive case
management, which includes housing counseling, budget counseling, parenting
classes, health and welfare classes, and community workshops. HHCS also offer
intern counseling, transportation assistance, and other programs as funding
permits.
HHCS' program has been designed to empower, educate, and support our guests.
All services are offered on-site or transportation is provided.
Harbor House Crisis Shelters also offer a Transitional Living Program for
homeless families and single women who need supportive housing assistance.
This program is designed to provide affordable housing while providing case
management.
