Living at Harbor House

Harbor House has provided temporary housing to over 100 girls since 1990, both through the shepherding home model and within a group home setting as well.

FAMILY STYLE ENVIRONMENT

Whether in a shepherding home setting or the larger structure of a group home, the girls who come to Harbor House live with houseparents—both a housefather and housemother along with their children—in a family-style environment.

The structure of the two-parent home—where Biblical principles including love, discipline and counsel are established and followed—provides the girls with round-the-clock care and a continuity that builds both trust and rapport.
