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.
