Harbor House seeks to eliminate domestic violence in Central Florida by providing safety, shelter, empowerment, education and justice. 
Harbor House provides safe shelter, a 24-hour crisis hotline, counseling, and emotional support, and legal advocacy for thousands of domestic violence survivors and their children each year. Harbor House also prepares survivors for re-entry into the community - connecting them to resources that will enable them to live independently, safely and peacefully.
HISTORY
During the 1970s - when talking about abuse was taboo - Barbara Moore, a domestic violence survivor realized the need for victims' assistance programs in Orange County. Taking it upon herself to assist other victims in need, she assembled a small group of committed women and together they established Central Florida's first domestic violence shelter - known today as Harbor House.
Over time, Harbor House has evolved and grown to meet the needs of Orange County. But, it has always remained true to its core values: empowerment, peace and advocacy.
Today, Harbor House is Orange County's only state-certified domestic violence facility. As we work toward our overall goal of promoting peace in every home, we continue to support survivors of domestic violence and educate the community about the problem.
