Q:  Does Safe Harbor provide short term housing?

A.  No. Our residential program is an in-depth program, not an emergency shelter. The program has several tracks, and depending on which track they are in, residents may stay from 3 to 12 months. While here, they  are expected to participate in our programs which are designed to provide healing from past wounds and help in developing better ways of coping in the future. All of this is undergirded with a strong Christian foundation.

A:  We no longer give tours on a drop in basis due to respect for our residents' privacy. However, on the first Thursday of the month we offer Harbor Lights, a free lunch and tour from 12:00-1:15.  Space is limited, so call to reserve your space.  (828) 326-7233.
