Project Title: Bright Futures: The SHORE House at Ocean’s Harbor House
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The primary goal of the SHORE House is successful transition to adulthood through self-sufficiency, create sustainable living through learning skills, promote economic independence and emotional stability in order to prevent long-term dependency on social services. We use evidence-based\/trauma-informed curricula that explore areas such as peer relationship building, permanent relationship building to caring adults, work\/study habits, healthy daily living, planning and goal setting skills, accessing community resources, budgeting skills, and computer literacy.
\nWe provide educational support and access. Upon acceptance to the transitional living program, we reach out to sending school districts to ensure transportation if young people are local. Ensuring that educational provisions are in place paves the way for youth to obtain post-secondary education. On discharge, continuing education is part of the aftercare plan. Since 2020,100% of our residents have graduated high school or obtained a GED. 55% have gone on to higher education.
\nWe provide connections to local employers to help youth find and keep jobs both in the program and after discharge. Since opening in 2004, 90% of our over 650 SHORE House residents have received vocational training, secured gainful employment and established careers. We conduct age-appropriate financial literacy services in collaboration with local bank Money Matters programming and business mentorships. Since the desired outcome is to have at least one caring and consistent adult in a youth\u2019s life, we identify and link our youth to positive adult role models. The SHORE House team encourages positive parent (or other family member) interaction with youth in activities in program, at school and in the community. Staff connect youth to mentors, coaches, teachers, community leaders and religious leaders through life skills training activities, educational opportunities and community service engagements. Since healthy peer relationships are also particularly important to youth, the team prioritizes activities that foster these through psychoeducational groups, house meetings and a Youth Advisory Council. The agency recruits and retains professional, caring staff who have experience with and are enthusiastic about empowering youth. We also engage other community support programs for youth lacking family structures as well as programs on parenting, anti-bullying, and suicide prevention campaigns. Since 2004, the Supervised Transitional Living Program has provided 12,775 consecutive days of safe shelter in a home environment for over 600 youth, 38,325 nutritious meals, 306,600 hours of professional supervised care, and over 70,000 counseling and life-skills building sessions. To date, 98% of our over 650 residents\/program graduates have established stable, successful lives and careers and have not revisited the homeless experience. <\/p>\n
