Ocean's Harbor House

Transitional living housing - since 2011, the transitional living program has worked to meet the needs of older youth, ages 16-21, who are homeless or who lack the skills and supports needed to successfully achieve adulthood. The program provides transitional housing for up to 18 months through its 12-bed group home and provides counseling, life skills, financial literacy, education services, employment and supportive services designed to prevent subsequent homelessness and help these youth secure safe, permanent housing.

Family crisis intervention unit program - a state-mandated court diversion program that operates within the framework of the juvenile justice system, offering free sessions by highly trained counselors to assist youth, and their families, through crises.

Shelter - since 1988, a 12 bed facility accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for youth between the ages of 10 and 19. This site provides emergency shelter, food, clothing, individual, family and group counseling, access to medical attention, educational assistance, prevention and crisis intervention services. The primary goal of services is to promote family reunification whenever it is safe and appropriate.

Electronic monitoring program - in order to provide a higher level of mental health and counseling services to youth, our fciu program was expanded to include the electronic monitoring services (gps ankle bracelets) of juvenile offenders throughout ocean county. The goal of this program is to reduce recidivism and provide services to youth. Outreach/aftercare program - inform communities about our services, raise awareness of the growing number of youth in need, and to reach youth directly to let them know help is available. Our outreach acts as a preventative measure, while our aftercare program is the follow up/outpatient services designed to supplement and complement the shelter and transitional living programs after youth have left the facility but may still require support.
