For over 60 years, we’ve provided a safe place to land for people seeking compassionate support to address their greatest challenges. Our services offer a continuum of care that provides the "building blocks" to help clients regain their health, obtain shelter, build a foundation of recovery from addiction, access affordable housing, build employment skills, and rebuild their personal relationships.

Our Mission:

Harbour Light is dedicated to the recognition of the dignity and worth of people, where God's love is demonstrated in a practical way through holistic programs that attend to the spiritual, social, physical and psychological well-being of the individual.

• Our year-round emergency shelters serve 100 men (24-hours), and 36 men and women (overnight). Our winter shelters offer an addition 70 beds from October through March.
• Men and women seeking to detox from drug use are provided with a safe, supportive environment, five meals a day, and referrals to long-term recovery programs.
• Our residential treatment program offers the foundation for long-term recovery from addiction
