The Cycle of Success Has Begun - A Family Moves On
June 22, 2026
      The Midcoast Maine Homeless Coalition created Family Harbor House to help families move on from homelessness to a successful life in a home of their own. After opening in January of this year, Family Harbor House soon gave three families a temporary home while they developed financial security. In early June, a single mother and her children realized that dream. They lived under the roof of our transitional housing program while she worked, the children attended school, and she arranged for a home that is now theirs. We hope their lives will remain stable now as her children grow up in their own home.
      A new family will now move into our transitional housing while they also work to create their own future. This is the story we have worked so hard to achieve. This is our cycle of success - families are given secure housing and support services while they work to achieve independence. And then, with our blessings, they move on.

Programs of But Still I Am One Have Joined MMHC
May 18, 2026

      At the A Tavola fundraising dinner on May 16, the following news was announced: "We are thrilled and so pleased to share with you that the local organization, But Still I Am One, which has served at-risk youth in Waldo County since 2021, has joined us at the Midcoast Maine Homeless Coalition so that community-based prevention, youth support, and Family Harbor House’s transitional housing services will all be under one organization."

      This is still very new, but you’ll hear more about it in the near future. We are very excited about this  great addition to the Coalition.


About Volunteering at Family Harbor House

Family Harbor House (FHH) is a transitional housing project helping local families who are experiencing homelessness. The building’s large private family rooms, full kitchen, shared bathrooms, and dining/recreation area can accommodate 3 to 4 families. FHH offers a place of respite and renewal for parents and children who have been living through times of crisis.

Management of the project is overseen by the Board of Directors and hired staff, but Family Harbor House depends upon compassionate people, like you, and volunteers are the heart of this project – providing homeless families with safety, comfort, and the opportunity for a better life.

Anyone can volunteer if they are willing to support the mission of Family Harbor House – “to help families stabilize their lives so they can then relocate to affordable permanent housing in the community.”

To volunteer with Family Harbor House, please complete this application form, plus an additional form which authorizes a standard criminal background check. Family Harbor House serves vulnerable populations, including children living in the program’s residential setting, and background reviews protect both the families and the volunteers.

After an initial screening process, you will be contacted to join with other new volunteers in a training session to learn about the Family Harbor House operational policies and procedures.
