Living at Harbor House

Living at Harbor House starts when you have a conversation with your County Mental Health Case Manager to make sure that you have a need for specialized residential services and insurance funding to cover that cost.

They will then advocate for a placement for your loved one.

Once referred to Harbor House, the process continues as your family and the HHM family work together to meet the individual care goals of your loved one to enhance opportunities for growth and independence.
