 * Harbor House, a safe haven for youth.

History

 * Harbor House was founded in June of 1985 by a group of concerned citizens and community leaders, Ocean's Harbor House was created to address the needs of an emerging population, homeless youth. On August 8, 1988, the agency opened its doors to provide a safe haven for five youth to help get them off the streets and out of abusive and dangerous homes.
 * Harbor House Currently offers all-inclusive amenities through its variety of care that helps over 8,000 children, youth and families annually, from encouraging youth development to assisting those who are in calamity.
 * The agency's continuum of care was borne out of the emergency shelter, Harbor House. At its inception the shelter served five homeless, runaway and abused boys and girls, ages 10 through 19. Due to high demand, the shelter later expanded to ten and then to twelve in 2002. Over 3,000 youth have received emergency housing from our shelter.
 * Additionally to providing emergency shelter placement, Harbor House provides food through home-cooked meals, clothing, counseling, case management and medical services. Primary residential counselors assume proactive roles in alleviating the children upon admission. The shelter provides 24-hour hotline services and drop-in services to the community for any child in crisis.
 * In 2001, Ocean's Harbor House sustained its pledge to youth by identifying the special needs of older youth from the ages of sixteen to twenty-one, who lack the capacities and self-assurance to efficaciously reach adulthood. The Transitional Living Program was created because commonly these young adults do not have a place to turn. This population is often neglected from systems who serve children and those that assist adults because of their age.
