Mission “The mission of Harbor Interfaith is to empower the homeless and working poor to achieve self-sufficiency by providing support services including shelter, transitional housing, food, job placement, advocacy, childcare, education, and life-skills training." History Now celebrating its 41st year, Harbor Interfaith is the result of a 1987 merger between two organizations: FISH, The Emergency Food Pantry and Advocacy Center (1975); and Harbor Interfaith Shelter (1983). The unification integrated the delivery of the most fundamental human services, nutrition and shelter, and enabled clients to be treated holistically. This historic structure also provided a base from which the agency flourished. FISH inspired various community-wide education/outreach initiatives, and the Shelter became the wellspring for residential services, particularly those designed for homeless women with children. Subsequent early childhood and after school education programs yielded a comprehensive, advanced menu of services. Each year, our 90-day emergency shelter and 18-month transitional housing program provide residence and support (including childcare) to approximately 450 people. The Family Resource Center (FRC) extends aid in virtually all areas: free groceries, clothing and hygiene items; rental/utility assistance; case management and individualized referrals; access to medical and dental services; and, enrollment in 14 benefit programs. Last year, 31,000 services were provided.
