Mission

Help and hope for a life of self-sufficiency.

Our mission is “Help and hope for a life of self-sufficiency.” Hope Harbor accomplishes this mission by providing services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness and near homelessness. We help meet the need for safe shelter, meals, and supportive case management with the goal of obtaining permanent housing and becoming self-sufficient.
