Geographic areas served: The Mission: to provide safe-haven for runaway, homeless, abandoned, abused and neglected youth, and provide them with the supports and the tools to unlock their potential by learning skills that empower them to build successful lives, relationships, and futures.
Programs: Ocean’s Harbor House was founded by concerned community leaders in 1985 to answer the needs of homeless, abandoned and runaway children and youth in crisis at the Jersey Shore, with a vision to create a safe space where these youth could go to be free from danger and victimization. Since then, we have grown from an emergency shelter to a multi-service organization. Through our Residential Programs and Healing Harbor Services, we address the complex issues faced by those young in 3 areas: • We provide shelter and housing for youth who are homeless • We provide counseling and case management for youth in crisis and their families. • We provide training and education on Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation
