        The Harbour’s programs provide temporary shelter and/or transitional housing and comprehensive services for homeless, runaway, abused and neglected youth ages 12-21 primarily in the north and northwest suburbs of Cook County.  Our Safe Harbour Emergency Shelter provides short-term shelter and comprehensive services to adolescent girls in crisis while staff works with the girls and their families to stabilize their situations. Our Transitional Living Program (TLP) serves 16-20 year-old more chronically homeless girls while they complete high school and make the transition to self-sufficiency. The Independent Living Program (ILP) serves 17-21 year old homeless youth, including parents, as they make the transition to independent adulthood.  Our Foundations of Living for Youth (FLY) and Successful Teens / Effective Parents (STEPS) programs provide pregnant and parenting teens with housing, vocational and parenting support, and skills toward economic independence.
