Programs.

Our services are built around those in the Conejo Valley community who need a hand up and those who are struggling. We work to help each client find a way to gainful employment and affordable housing. 

We work to help each person find hope.
​

Case Management

Case management services assist those who are homeless or on the edge of homelessness in becoming more self sufficient. Our case managers help each person create attainable goals and walk  along side them. Our case managers help with life skills like problem solving, money management and conflict resolution. 

Gas & Electricity Assistance

We provide assistance to local residents with gas and electric bills. Southern California Edison assistance is provided once in a 12-month period and The Gas Co assistance is provided once in a winter program period (January - May (2023 is an exception and the program is still open). This means you can only apply once a year or once every 12 months. Certain income criteria apply. The income affidavit is only used for no income or cash income. 
Note - 
The amount of the assistance is only given against an outstanding balance on your bill. If you have autopay set up, this program will not work for you, unless you take your account off of autopay. If you have a zero balance when we process your application, you will be denied by the United Way. 
Street Outreach
Harbor House staff works with the Ventura County Sheriff's Department on a regular basis.  We reach out to those people who are living on the street, and we assist them with their immediate needs. 

Referrals

Harbor House can refer clients based on their needs. Using the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) we can access county wide resources.  We help with housing, emergency shelter, meals, employment, legal, medical and psychological services. 

Rental  Assistance

Emergency rental assistance for eviction prevention serves low income families and individuals in the Conejo Valley. Eligibility is based upon set criteria and will be determined through an intake.

If eligible, documentation may be required. 

Jobs Program

Harbor House provides a program to help our clients obtain a job. We help with the job search, creation of a resume and help with interview prep. 

Adopt a Family 

Harbor House signs up families in the fall to be adopted for the holidays. In the past year we had over 400 families sign up which equates to between over 1100 children. Gifts are distributed in December.  

Other Assistance

Harbor House provides gas and bus vouchers to help in getting to work, school or doctor appointments.
