Emergency Shelter
Safe, supervised, around the clock residential care in a warm, home like setting.
Our Programs
Care designed around the whole child
When Safe Harbor opens, these six programs will work together from a child's first night to their next safe step.
Sibling Preservation
Space designed for sibling groups of all ages so brothers and sisters stay together.
Trauma Informed Care
Staff trained in evidence based practices, with daily routines that restore safety and trust.
Educational Support
Tutoring, school enrollment help, and homework support so learning continues without interruption.
Health Coordination
Nurse led health screenings and coordination of medical and mental health care.
Family Reunification
Where safe and court approved, partnering with caseworkers, families, and courts toward reunification.
A Home Like Setting
Designed to feel like a home, not an institution
Shared meals, quiet corners, homework tables, and bedrooms planned for sibling groups all help a child settle after a frightening day.
Safe Harbor is preparing to open and is not yet operating. Every element of our program design is being reviewed with community partners, caseworkers, and child welfare professionals so that we are ready on day one.
