THE HARBOUR 2016 ANNUAL REPORT


EMPOWERING YOUTH. DEVELOPING FUTURES.

EACH YEAR IN ILLINOIS,

25,000 OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE

WILL HAVE NO PLACE TO CALL HOME.

OF THESE, OVER HALF ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF URBAN AREAS, AND 92% DO NOT RECEIVE THE NEEDED SERVICES. DUE TO A COMBINATION OF FACTORS, INCLUDING HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATES AND GROWING SUBURBAN POVERTY, THE UNITED WAY OF METROPOLITAN CHICAGO HAS RECENTLY IDENTIFIED LARGE PARTS OF THE HARBOUR’S SERVICE AREA AS “HIGH NEED COMMUNITIES.” A 2013 HEARTLAND ALLIANCE REPORT INDICATES THAT HOMELESS SERVICES ARE DRAMATICALLY LESS AVAILABLE IN OUR SUBURBAN SERVICE AREA, AS COMPARED TO THE CITY OF CHICAGO. TO ADDRESS THIS NEED, THE HARBOUR PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE CONTINUUM OF HOUSING AND CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO YOUTH IN CRISIS, AGES 12-23 IN THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST SUBURBS OF COOK COUNTY.


HOUSING STABILITY

SAFE HARBOUR EMERGENCY SHELTER

The Harbour provides emergency shelter, group transitional housing, and scattered-site transitional housing to meet the unique needs of each youth.

The Harbour intervenes at the start of homelessness to provide short-term housing and crisis intervention to girls ages 12-21 with the goal of reuniting families when possible. When they cannot return home, we locate an alternative safe placement – which may be our own transitional housing. The Harbour is the only emergency shelter for girls east of Palatine, and the only youth shelter serving girls in our service area ages 18-21.

RESPONSIBLE PARENTING Youth with children receive hands-on parenting support to increase parenting confidence and ensure children are meeting developmental milestones. Early literacy services foster an early love of learning and promote bonding between parent and child. FINANCIAL LITERACY The Harbour youth participate in an 8-hour curriculum on financial literacy with groups throughout the year on topics such as credit management, identity theft, banking, and taxes. They receive support in developing a spending plan each week, as well as monthly coaching around budgeting and saving. Many have credit issues; The Harbour monitors credit scores monthly, and helps our youth build and repair their credit. ACADEMIC PROGRESS Educational attainment is key to breaking the cycle of homelessness. The Harbour supports youth as they graduate high school, and assists in exploring post-secondary options.

YOUTH IN TRANSITION The Harbour provides community youth with up to 18 months of transitional housing through both supervised group homes and scattered-site apartments. Most of our youth begin in supervised housing and move into their own scattered-site apartment during their last six months in the program. In addition to serving community youth, The Harbour also operates a parallel program for DCFS wards of the state. This program offers up to three years of pre-emancipation support and planning for DCFS wards. SUCCESSFUL TEENS/EFFECTIVE PARENTS (STEPs) Pregnant youth with little or no parenting skills are among the most vulnerable of homeless populations, with serious implications for family functioning and well-being. Our STEPs youth are provided with transitional housing in scattered-site apartments and also receive services focused on the development of both our pregnant young women and their children. The Harbour has 45 years of experience serving homeless and at-risk youth, and is licensed as a Child Welfare Agency by the Illinois Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS).

APPROXIMATELY 25,000 YOUTH ARE HOMELESS IN ILLINOIS EACH YEAR; OVER HALF ARE OUTSIDE CHICAGO CITY LIMITS.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Dear Friends and Colleagues, Since The Harbour first opened its doors in 1975 to provide emergency shelter to homeless young women in the North/Northwest Suburbs, The Harbour has evolved to meet the emerging needs of young women who require both immediate safety and longer-term support. The Harbour has a proven track record for providing stability, shelter, long-term housing, and opportunities to young women who have come through our doors due to family dysfunction, neglect, abuse, or who have run away or have been locked out of their homes. For the last 15 years, Randi Gurian advanced the agency by further expanding services to youth, including the addition of a parenting program (Successful Teens/Effective Parents) that would allow The Harbour to meet the unique needs of this underserved population. I had the benefit of working with Randi Gurian for three years before becoming her successor. While continuing to improve our programs, we worked diligently with high expectations that youth will learn, develop, and continue to thrive despite the circumstance which led them to our program. As a result of Ms. Gurian’s leadership and the team’s tireless dedication to our youth, The Harbour’s books are filled with stories of young women who are working, going to community college or university, and who are self-sufficient in an unforgiving housing market.

When Randi retired in June of 2016, I was honored to have been afforded the opportunity to carry the torch for The Harbour. We embarked on a strategic plan that would detail our work for the next several years, and began to evaluate our services and the difficult political landscape that we must continue to navigate. Despite not having had Homeless Youth or Supportive Housing funds from the state for all of FY16, The Harbour’s programs have thrived; the stage is now set for The Harbour to grow and expand its services and delivery systems. This is a direct result of the community support from our dedicated donors, volunteers, and Board of Directors. 2017 brings significant transformation for The Harbour. Our plans to return to our community roots and expand our reach will create accessibility; it will allow our teams to partner with our youth, to empower them to take charge of their lives, and to help them develop successful sustainable plans for their futures. Yours in Service,

Kris Salyards Executive Director THE HARBOUR

TODAY, THE HARBOUR IS AT THE PRECIPICE OF TRANSFORMATION AFTER DECADES OF PROGRESSIVE EVOLUTION

The Ongoing Transformation and Transition of The Harbour. The Harbour is in the midst of transformation. As we celebrate our roots of providing essential housing to young women experiencing homelessness, we are also steadily increasing our services “beyond the bed” to address the needs of youth in crisis. We are excited to launch a new vision which will incorporate unique methods to engage youth in inventive and creative ways. This expansion will be implemented during the coming years, in response to the needs that have been recognized in our community. Our new vision for our youth has been incorporated into The Harbour mission, and community support allows us to put our vision into action.

The Harbour believes in each one of our young women’s ability to overcome the barriers to self-sufficiency. It is our goal to prevent the cycle of homelessness from repeating itself and to help our youth find their path to affordable housing, employment, and secondary education. Investment from our generous donors serves as a powerful catalyst for promoting positive outcomes for success as an emerging adult. Our charitable donors, whom we now call The Harbour Society, make our work possible.

THE HARBOUR PROVIDES RESIDENTIALLY BASED SERVICES TO AN AVERAGE OF 100 YOUNG WOMEN PER YEAR.

With this timely transformation, The Harbour has adopted a new brand statement to reflect our growing role in the community overall purpose: Empowering Youth. Developing Futures.

2017 BEACON OF SUCCESS AWARD WINNER

Latoya Lawrence ACHIEVING THE DREAM In 2014, Latoya’s mother was renting a basement that did not have room for Latoya and her three year old son, Cleo. Latoya found shelter with her cousin, and was offered a couch to share with Cleo. The situation was untenable and Latoya needed a safe and stable living arrangement. Latoya was admitted to the STEPs program at The Harbour in December 2014. Upon entering this program, Latoya signed a one-year lease for a one-bedroom apartment and finally had a home of her own. Once she became stable in her apartment, Latoya could finally focus on her future plans. As a graduate of Evanston High School, Latoya was contemplating becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). In order to realize this dream, she knew that she needed a reliable support network with the necessary help to focus on achieving this goal. Latoya immediately began taking steps to accomplish this. She received her license as a pharmacy technician from the Jewish Vocational Services within three months. Latoya was then hired to work in the corporate offices of CVS Caremark, which allowed her to save money for school. Latoya took night classes while she was working full-time. Her first priority was to focus on completing her prerequisite classes, which were required for acceptance into a LPN program. After successfully completing these classes, Latoya entered the program. Although she accomplished this step toward her goal, it also posed new problems, and Latoya was faced with some hard choices that would affect her and Cleo. She was coming to the end of the 18-month STEPs program, and had to figure out her next move. Latoya stepped out of her comfort zone and gave up her apartment and her full time job, in order to move to a town that was closer to her new school. She knew she had to do this to build a future for herself and her son. To keep herself motivated, Latoya would tell herself this was “a major setback for a major comeback!” Latoya feels that she is now on the right path to make a major comeback, and she is very close to reaching her ultimate goals in life. When asked about the role The Harbour played, Latoya responded, “The Harbour got me on my feet and on a path to my career. If I didn’t have the assistance, guidance and motivational counselors I had throughout this program, I would still be stuck on my cousin’s couch. Thank you!” Today, Latoya is continuing the pursuit of her career in nursing by participating in the licensed practical nurse program at Northbrook College of Health Care, which she will be completing on October 27th, 2017. Latoya was also reunited with her mother, and they now share an apartment big enough for all three of them.

EMPOWERING YOUTH. DEVELOPING FUTURES.

The Harbour Thanks Randi Gurian for Providing Over 15 Years of Dedicated Service and Guidance as The Harbour’s CEO! Before retiring in July 2016, Randi had been witness to thousands of young women who passed through The Harbour’s doors and were able to achieve a better life for themselves as a result. Randi offered counsel to hundreds of staff members, and was a driving force for change within our communities. During her tenure, Randi expanded services to new population groups. The Safe Harbour Emergency Shelter was opened to youth 18 and over, and a program for pregnant and parenting youth was developed. Randi saw to the expansion of services to wards of the state, adding services to youth in their own apartments. In Randi’s honor, The Randi Gurian Fund of Hope has been established to ensure vital resources are available for future generations of Harbour youth.
