Mission

HARBOR HOUSE STRIVES TO PREVENT AND BREAK THE CYCLE OF DOMESTIC ABUSE THROUGH EMPOWERMENT-BASED PROGRAMS, ADVOCACY, EDUCATION, AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.

  • home prevention - The most critical end of the spectrum is homicide prevention. This component involves crisis intervention services that protect victims at that most dangerous time when they make the courageous decision to leave their abuser. These programs include a 24-hour emergency hotline, EARLY VICTIM ENGAGEMENT ("EVE") partnership with law enforcement and the Department of Children and Families, injunctions for protection, and the emergency shelter. The major programs that accomplish this are: Early Victim Engagement (EVE) - This innovative program brings together advocates, law enforcement, and child protective services to prevent homicides and serious injury for hundreds of survivors in highly dangerous situations each year. As a supplement to traditional services, EVE partners identify high lethality cases and refer them to the Organization for emergency intervention. Legal Advocacy - Providing assistance and support to survivors with injunctions for protection attorneys, translation services, court accompaniment, and crisis intervention. Crisis Hotline - Operated 24 hours per day, advocates respond to a call on average every 15 minutes, 365 days a year. Providing crisis counseling, referrals, after-hours injunctions, and support, this lifeline is a critical component to crisis intervention. Emergency Shelter - With 120 beds and its 24-hour hotline, the program employs state certified staff and offers onsite counseling, case management, and crisis intervention. Child Care - The Organization offers licensed childcare five days a week at no cost to survivors residing in the shelter. With a capacity of serving 60 children, plus afterschool programming, this state of the art, trauma-informed program helps children recover and gives parents the time they need to find housing, employment, and tend to legal matters, all of which enable them to become economically independent and thereby freeing them from dependency on the abuser. Kennel - In Central Florida, not only is domestic abuse the leading cause of child abuse, but it is also a leading cause of animal cruelty. Those living with violent abusers know too well what can happen to an unprotected pet and will not leave their pet to an uncertain fate. The Paws for Peace Kennel, Central Florida's only safe haven for pets of domestic abuse survivors, is located on the Organization's five-acre campus, where survivors can conveniently spend time with their pets and participate in human-animal interaction that will support trauma therapy for both. The kennel's mission is to support survivors fleeing abuse so that they can bring their pets to safety as well, keeping the entire family together. In-Kind Donation Center - The In-Kind Donation Center is a multi-functional, innovative facility for a domestic abuse shelter that was designed to improve the Organization's capacity in both the immediate and long-term future. The Organization is able to house all of its valuable in-kind donations - from cleaning and maintenance items to food and baby supplies. The Organization is better positioned, both financially and through improved service delivery, to meet the needs of domestic abuse survivors and position them for future success, safety, and prosperity.

    Expenses $4,072,292

  • Intervention Services - The next component of the Organization's approach is intervention. These include programs such as outreach services, counseling, and support groups. The major program that accomplishes this is the Community Services Outreach program. This program serves over 4,000 survivors annually at scattered locations throughout the community. Working with survivors who are not in need of or have left emergency shelter, Community Services advocates provide crisis counseling, safety planning, relocation assistance, and support groups.

    Expenses $1,552,508

  • Prevention - The final component is the prevention of domestic abuse. Prevention programs teach youth about healthy relationships, bullying, how to be safe, and active bystanders, thereby preventing the next generation from being abused or becoming an abuser. Evidence based work that is replicable is the basis for the Organization's prevention efforts. This comprehensive approach allows the Organization to successfully address the epidemic of domestic abuse and make significant progress towards the mission of ending the cycle of abuse.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
