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 all Ventura County residents with gas (GAF) and electric (EAF) 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(tentative). Certain income criteria apply. The income affidavit is only used for no income or cash income.

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.

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.
