About & Contact Us.Harbor House is a social service agency dedicated to helping those who are most vulnerable.. We serve the homeless, hungry and poor by mobilizing the power of the local community. Working with those that are in poverty means we are working with those who struggle with food and housing insecurity, unemployment, addiction, mental illness and abuse. These problems continue through generations in families and we are aiming to end this cycle.

Denise Cortes, founder & director.
|
Denise Cortes founded Harbor House to help those in the Conejo Valley living in deep poverty and homelessness. Denise has lived in the community for over thirty years and has raised her family here. Denise previously worked as Area Director for Lutheran Social Services where she managed all operations in Ventura County. This work led her to creating Harbor House with local funds helping local people and needs. Denise volunteered for seven years as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for foster youth. This work as a CASA helped Denise to see the link between growing up in foster care and homelessness. This insight led to the creation of Pi House. Pi House is a transitional home for aged out foster youth.
Denise has experience as a speaker, teacher and a trainer. |
