The Harbour FY21 Annual Report

Building Better Futures

2021 YEAR IN REVIEW

Dear Friends of The Harbour,

I AM THRILLED to be the new Executive Director of The Harbour! Since I began my career as a clinical practitioner, I have invested in relationships with young people, their families, and their circles of support as a tool for youth stability, healing, and growth. I learned youth succeed when they have access to individualized services that are responsive to their needs. As someone referring youth to The Harbour’s programs for the past 12 years, collaborating with staff, and partnering with leadership, I have been drawn to The Harbour’s commitment to innovate amidst an unstable climate.

The pandemic demanded the non-profit community work together in new ways, changing how we provide services and define safety. The expertise, dedication, and creativity of The Harbour’s staff fostered resilience in our seamless service delivery. We share a fundamental philosophy that all youth deserve access to safe places and caring adults. I am invigorated to be part of such a talented team and essential agency as we enhance youth housing services for the next generation of The Harbour.

We honor the legacy of the youth, staff, leaders, and community stakeholders/friends of The Harbour who have invested in our first 50 years. Since 1971, The Harbour has:

• evolved from a community-based crisis homes model in Evanston,

• transitioned to an emergency shelter in Des Plaines,

• added 6 transitional programs with pathways to long-term stability in northern/northwest Cook County. In each expansion of The Harbour, we have focused on developing programs to meet youth needs and increase youth access to resources. This is best represented today through specialized transitional programs for pregnant and parenting teens, survivors of human trafficking, and community outreach. Such systems do not evolve in a vacuum; The Harbour and its partners have thoughtfully built a fortified network of care.

The Harbour offers decades of experience in identifying systemic barriers for young people seeking safe, stable housing. The new Safe Harbour House is the beginning of how we elevate youth safety and stability in the modern era while embedding traumainformed, inclusive, anti-racist practices into the fiber of all operations.

Mission

The Harbour provides emergency housing and services to female/ female-identifying youth experiencing homelessness to promote safety, stability, and personal growth.

Since the official inception of the new Safe Harbour House in 2017, work has been underway to create a permanent facility design centering our youth needs. We value the tremendous village of advocates without whom this would have been impossible. We carry the legacy of the youth, staff, leaders, and community stakeholders/friends in all the collaborations that made the new Safe Harbour House into a reality in 2021. We are excited to be able to share insights from some of those incredible pillars of community in this Year in Review.

The energy is palpable as we prepare to open our doors in 2022. When walking into the new shelter, every detail of the design, function, and décor has centered on the needs of the youth who will be staying there. When one walks through the front door into the open, bright congregate space, it is clear there are no overcast days in the new Safe Harbour House, it will always be filled with light and warmth.

I sincerely hope you take a few moments to enjoy reading this Year in Review. It has been a transformative year in many senses and through the transformation we are indeed building better futures together.

Yours in Peace and Justice,

Each year, we embrace the needs of more than 100 young women seeking safety and shelter, which translates to over 10,000 days of supervised care and more than 20,000 meals. In FY21, The Harbour provided 127 youth (and 9 infant and toddler aged children of youth in our STEPs program) with a cumulative 10,840 days of safe, trauma informed holistic care. In the past three years, as we lowered barriers to access for youth seeking safety and shelter, each year has maintained a 40% increase in utilization when compared to our FY18 statistics.

The Harbour’s vision is to provide program opportunities that guide and empower youth to their fullest potential through safe housing, critical emergency interventions, positive mentoring, and resource services. Stable housing in tandem with educational and vocational support, life skills training, and intensive financial literacy support, coupled with the mentoring and nurturing support of caring adults are hallmarks of each program. Unlike adults who become homeless, most homeless youth have never lived on their own; youth of this age typically lack the skills or financial resources to begin living independently and sustain a path to independence and housing stability.

Melody Rose, LCSW

The Harbour provides youth-centric, traumainformed programs to guide and empower female identifying youth to achieve their fullest potential through safe shelter and transitional housing, critical emergency interventions, and compassionate mentoring. Serving a multi community footprint of thirteen of the thirty-one suburban Cook County townships and fifty-one separate local communities, The Harbour advocates for and responds to the needs of locked out, runaway, and unaccompanied homeless female and transgender youth, ages 12-23 years.

Building Better Futures

Come along the journey of building the new Safe Harbour House.

As we open our newest doors, the foundation of our agency and our mission of supporting youth experiencing homelessness has never been stronger. The new Safe Harbour house will enable us to safely fulfill our mission and serves the youth in so many more ways we haven’t been able to do so yet. The house is also functionally flexible, energy efficient, and strategic in its mission and services. The new Safe Harbour House is built to meet the developmental needs of today’s youth and remain flexible for future generations.

→ A wing for youth ages 12-17 and a wing for young adults 18-20

→ 3100 square feet of programming space

→ 3 double and 4 single bedrooms

→ 4 youth bathrooms

→ Ample recreational space

→ Computer stations/learning spaces for homework and studies

The generosity of the community and corporate and foundation donations made this home possible. And we couldn’t be prouder to share it with you and welcome our first residents.

Our Sponsors

We are indebted to the contributions of many friends and donors of gifts large and small, monetary and through materials and services to The Harbour. These gifts ensured the success of our Project 2020 Capital Campaign which made the new Safe Harbour House a reality.

We will dedicate this beautiful house on April 29, 2022 . It would be impossible to name them all, though we offer our heartfelt thanks to our major sponsors:

Millie Frawley

Recently retired after 32 years of volunteer service as The Harbour’s CFO

NEWLY RETIRED AND enjoying a relaxing retirement after 32 years of service as Harbour’s CFO, Millie Frawley reflects on her tenure with personal satisfaction and great joy. “I never saw my work as a job! I love The Harbour’s mission: To support youth impacted by homelessness and abuse. I greatly enjoyed interacting with youth when they came to the office and helping with preparing their taxes. I loved seeing these young people receiving the support they needed and feeling loved and going on to making successful contributions to society.”

Millie began her career in public accounting at KPMG. She worked full time at the audit firm for 10 years until the birth of her second daughter when she broke ground for part-time work by designing a job for herself at KPMG’s Chicago office. Millie transitioned to self-employment, offering her tax and audit services to non-profits and small private companies. In 1990, a former board member recognized The Harbour’s need for a CFO with Millie’s expertise and introduced her to Mary Dreiser, then The

Harbour’s Executive Director. They agreed Millie was a good fit for the two-to-three-day weekly job, and shortly thereafter she began working at the basement office of the Safe Harbour House.

In her over 32-year career, Millie has had the pleasure of working with five executive directors whose long tenures and individual contributions enabled The Harbour to grow to its present effectiveness. Beyond her responsibilities as CFO, Millie remembered fondly sitting around tables with the youth. “Resilience” became a favorite theme of her discussions as Millie watched young women rebound from difficult situations and keep moving forward.

Millie takes pride in the legacy of The Harbour, a stable agency for over 50 years, serving youth impacted by homelessness, abuse, and neglect in Chicago’s north and northwest suburbs. She looks

at the new Safe Harbour House as a key foundation pillar for the strong continuation of The Harbour. She says it has been incredibly humbling to see the growth and positive changes of the non-profit over the years.

“Everyone at the Harbour, the staff, volunteers, donors, and community leaders want the youth to succeed and to live successful, independent healthy lives, or to leave a mark on the world. That’s what we are all here for.”

Though Millie is retiring to spend more time with her daughters, Millie and Mary, and grandchildren, Teddy, Emily, and a new baby on the way, she and her husband, Tom, plan to stay involved with The Harbour, participating on committees, helping with special projects, and serving as valued advisors. Her career as CFO has ended, but Millie will continue to make a valued contribution to The Harbour.

Martha Spatz

Project Manager of the new Safe Harbour House Construction Project

MARTHA SPATZ HAS served on the Board of the Harbour for nearly five years. Her role shifted significantly when she volunteered to be the Project Manager of the new Safe Harbour House construction project.

At the encouragement of the wife of a former Board member, Martha Spatz joined The Harbour

Board in December of 2017 and has continued to serve as an active and integral part of The Harbour. Prior to retirement, Martha enjoyed a successful career as an architect, designing retail and mixed-use commercial projects. Martha’s expertise made her the perfect person to be the Project Manager for the build of the new Safe Harbour House.

At the time, the existing Harbour House, a century old farmhouse, needed major repairs and renovations to bring the building up to current safety codes.

Martha led a team to evaluate several options – remodel the house, purchase other properties, or find a new site. They conducted a study, reviewed budgeting options, and considered other sites. Her experience as an architect enabled Martha to effectively navigate the building landscapes including zoning, village laws, and federal and state compliance

requirements. After reviewing the team’s findings, the Board decided to build a new Safe Harbour House on the existing property. Martha conducted additional studies and met with several architectural and construction firms. After a thorough review, OKW Architects was hired to build the new house under the masterful direction of architect Anders Rustin. Anders Rustin designed the house we call home today.

Martha has managed the building process, leading 42 weekly meetings with the builders and the architect. We broke ground for the new house in June of 2021 and, less than one year later in April of 2022, we opened the new Safe Harbour House, a true testament to Martha’s excellent leadership. As the project ends, we look forward to other opportunities where Martha can lend her expertise to building a better future for the youth we serve.

“My goal in retirement is to help others be successful.”

With the building of the new Safe Harbour House, Martha has indeed ensured that youths in our communities can find success. Our hard hats are off to you, Martha!

It has been incredibly humbling to see the growth and positive changes over the years.

“My goal in retirement is to help others be successful.”

Jessica Wright, LCSW Program Director

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH THE HARBOUR? 11 years.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE THE HARBOUR YOUR WORK HOME?

I began working with The Harbour as a Therapeutic Case Manager. I always knew that I wanted to be a support for teens and work with youth who have had housing instability.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO PERSEVERE IN YOUR POSITION?

The youth and their needs continue to evolve and change. It’s critical that they have the support and encouragement from a strong team to guide them through life’s sometimes difficult journeys. The relationships that I’ve been able to build with the youth and staff have continued to be so rewarding. I love that some of the first youth I worked with as a Case Manager are now in their early 30s and still maintain contact with me.

WOULD YOU MIND SHARING ONE OF YOUR SPECIAL MEMORIES?

Moving youth into their own apartments or into their college dorms has always been exciting for me. It feels so rewarding for the team to know that the youth engaged in the program and had a successful outcome. I also loved cooking with and having dinner with the youth each week when I was a Case Manager. It was such an authentic and meaningful time with the house as a whole. It gave the youth an opportunity to focus on being a young adult and having fun, despite all the challenges the youth were facing at the time.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS TO DO AT THE HARBOUR?

In my current role I’m able to work with those who are in direct service, supervisors, maintenance, finance, HR and development. I love being able to

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THE READERS TO KNOW ABOUT THE HARBOUR? Being a youth is difficult enough. Imagine being a youth and facing housing instability, abuse, or neglect. Our youth are passionate, driven and determined young adults and strive to be the best version of themselves. Given the many things thrown at them, It’s not always an easy road for them, which is why the support from The Harbour is critical. We have been around for 51 years because our team is passionate, and we care about the long-lasting impact and relationships with the youth we serve. We wouldn’t be able to do this important work without the on-going support of the community.

WHAT’S YOUR VISION FOR THE HARBOUR’S FUTURE? The Harbour is dedicated to understanding the needs of the youth and evolving to meet youth where they are. We strive to make all our services more accessible so that more youth can be served. We are continuing to grow, which feels amazing!

DO YOU HAVE ANY INSIGHTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE? Our partnership with the youth we serve is not always easy. It can be exhausting and super difficult at times, but it’s important for the youth that we continue to be there for them. The support we give each other on The Harbour team is like no other. It’s gotten us through so many ups and downs and will continue to be one of the best teams out there!

WHAT’S YOUR VISION FOR THE HARBOUR’S FUTURE? I have big visions for The Harbour including expanding to other areas – even more states and gaining more exposure even on TV to help gain additional support and awareness to the incredible work we do supporting youth impacted by homelessness and human trafficking.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO PERSEVERE IN YOUR POSITION? I see myself with the organization for years to come, it is a personal passion of mine. A lot of this passion and empathy was instilled in me by my parents who adopted me and my biological brother when I was 7 years old. They provided us unconditional love, safety, support and these things I can organically give the youth. I am very close with my parents and enjoy supporting and spending time with them.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE MEMORIES? My favorite memories include a BBQ cookout during the pandemic and game nights where they can compete in a friendly game of kickball, youth vs. staff, like a family. These are competitive, interactive and friendly games where they can be together on teams. The result is usually laughter, joking and much fun.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS TO DO AT THE HARBOUR? I enjoy supporting the youth with job applications, encouraging them to apply, helping them with applications and interviews. It helps show the importance of reinforcing a strong work ethic and demonstrates they can create better lives for themselves. What I love most is seeing them empowered by getting a job.

Harbour House. There I learned so much from the youth that came into our shelter. A little more than a year later, I was offered the Community Relations and Intake Coordinator position. In this role I have gained so much insight into youth homelessness. Their stories inspire me to advocate for their rights and to continue to learn how we can better serve them.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO PERSEVERE IN YOUR POSITION?

Knowing that I make a difference in the lives of our youth. Giving them that opportunity to have safety and stability with something that is a basic human right, housing.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS TO DO AT THE HARBOUR?

I love being able to develop those community relations as my title states. Being able to connect with adults and youth to talk about our services gives a personal touch when someone is referring a youth to us. When a school counselor can call me and say “hey, I have a youth that I would like to refer, but they have some questions.” It makes all the difference to put a face to the name. When a youth is in crisis, there are already a million things going on in their head. Being able to provide shelter gives them one less thing to worry about.

Cedrica Fails Residential Supervisor

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH THE HARBOUR? I’ve been with the Harbour for almost 3 years. I dreamt of this role and prayed to God and found the Harbour. I really enjoy meeting the youth and getting to know them, taking the time to really understand their situation and providing ways to best support them.

Sandy Godinez Community Relations and Intake Coordinator

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH THE HARBOUR? 9 years.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE THE HARBOUR YOUR WORK HOME?

I began my journey at The Harbour as a Youth Development Specialist at

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THE READERS TO KNOW ABOUT THE HARBOUR? One of the ways that we reach youth is through our Outreach program. During the pandemic, we had to find creative ways of being able to reach youth that needed our services. We launched Harbour Connect, a mobile unit that would go to various community sites. We were also able to pass out hygiene kits with face masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and resource information for youth. Even though the pandemic shut down the world, The Harbour did not close its doors to youth.

WHAT’S YOUR VISION FOR THE HARBOUR’S FUTURE? The future is already here with the new shelter. Nine years ago, a new shelter seemed like only a dream. Now that we have the new shelter, I would like to expand our housing services to meet the needs of all youth in crisis especially those of our pregnant and parenting youth.

Volunteers in the Spotlight

St. Andrews Lutheran Church Board of Service Ministry

ST. ANDREW’S LUTHERAN Church in Park Ridge birthed its Board of Service Ministry nearly a quarter century ago, making it an official church board. The mission of the Board of Service Ministry is to identify and facilitate ways in which members of St. Andrews can actively demonstrate Christ’s love to those in need in our community and in the world.

• Service, as an official discipline, provides an avenue for expressing faith.

• Service can address various areas of need and extend beyond the walls of the church, reaching into the community both near and far.

• Service can draw all members of the congregation together in participation.

Park Ridge Travel Hawks

PARK RIDGE TRAVEL Hawks is a group of committed volunteers, experienced coaches, talented athletes, and active community members who joined forces to create a well-balanced, safe, and competitive football league for young athletes. These youth range from 3rd to 9th grade and possess different competitive skill levels and experience, but all desire to compete against some of the best travel football teams in the region.

Park Ridge Travel Hawks emphasizes that kids have fun and stay safe while learning commitment, hard work, sportsmanship, and a teachability spirit that leads to success on and off the football field. The leaders strive to build

Today the board consists of twelve members who serve as long as they feel called to the ministry.

The St. Andrews School, well known in Park Ridge and the surrounding communities, is a key supporter of the Park Ridge community, donating their gyms for scouting activities and the Newcomers Club Kid’s Sale. Service remains a key tenet of the school.

Last year Judy Szkwarek introduced the Board of Service Ministry to The Harbour. St. Andrews now partners with The Harbour in providing supplies for the new Safe Harbour House and youth moving to their own apartments. The Board led the entire St. Andrews church family in this service by advertising the donation drive on their website, highlighting the opportunity during church services, and promoting Safe Harbour House in the church newsletter.

The Harbour wishes to extend its deepest gratitude to Board members, Lee Joesten, Diane Kiepura, and Judy Szkwarek, as well as the entire St. Andrew’s Board of Service Ministry for their support and partnership.

camaraderie and create opportunities for all athletes to develop and find success, as well as have a sense of pride representing their community.

The organization also recognizes as a vital pillar of their program and the key to the individual’s growth and development the importance of teaching the youth to support those in need. To this end, Park Ridge Travel Hawks decided to involve their youth in a local charity and selected The Harbour. Around the holidays the players hosted a donation drive to gather towels, linens, and household supplies for Safe Harbour House. The collaboration of Park Ridge Travel Hawks and The Harbour has proved so beneficial to both organizations that the players plan to become more involved with The Harbour in the future.

The Harbour extends its deepest gratitude to the Park Ridge Travel Hawks for their support and eagerly looks forward to future partnership opportunities supporting the needs of youth experiencing homelessness.
