The construction of our new 11,000 sq ft Life Enrichment Campus will include three administrative offices, two large classrooms, 4,500 sq ft multipurpose space, adequate childcare space for different ages, and a catering kitchen. After the new building opens, we will repurpose the existing building onsite by turning the 2,400 sq ft multipurpose space into three classrooms and move Harvest House administrative and development offices into the building. Our current administrative space on one of our residential recovery spaces will allow us to have space for two more case managers, a staff meeting space, and a private counseling space.
Over 65% of clients in the Freedom program come to Harvest House directly from incarceration, and they arrive with very limited resources. Some of the first work they’ll do with their case manager is get copies of important documents that are needed for employment. Clients don’t typically have access to funds until they can secure employment, so we provide welcome kits full of personal items and linens, and other assistance accessing basic needs such as important documents, laundry services, and bus passes. The weekly program fee is $240 for men and $200 for women which includes rent, utilities, food, case-management, addiction recovery, life-skills classes, counseling, and career placement.
Transportation is one of the most common barriers for families who have experienced homelessness. Harvest House provides bus passes for clients during the beginning of the program, but riding the bus can be an additional burden for someone working through countless other challenges. Clients would benefit from Uber or Lyft gift cards, as well as used cars and small SUVs that are in great working condition.
Help us furnish 50+ supportive housing apartments for families, and men and women in recovery. We’re always looking for:

Please note, submitting an application for an NSP Affordable Rental does not guarantee housing. Units do not become available very often, so Harvest House will hold your application for 2 months in case a unit becomes available. The NSP program has strict gross income limits that are determined by HUD. Please see the chart below to ensure that your household meets the income requirements.
Submitting an application does not guarantee housing. Our goal is to serve as many families as possible, but due to limitations, we select those with the highest acuity of need first. We hold applications for 6 months in case an opening fits the needs of each applicant over that time period.
Home Again is a housing program that helps families prepare for long-term housing stability. The best fit for the program is families that have many challenges to housing but are willing to engage with the program to improve their housing situation. Families must be willing to set goals, meet regularly with a case manager, attend life skills classes, and participate in individual housing stability plans.
