Midcoast Maine Homeless Coalition

Thank you for your continued support of Family Harbor House!  This transitional housing for families has become a reality. It welcomed its first families on January 3, 2026. Midcoast Maine Homeless Coalition (MMHC) works to end the cycle of homelessness for individual families in Waldo County, Maine through innovation and collaboration around affordable housing and this program is designed to do just that. Family Harbor House also seeks compassionate community members to assist local families experiencing homelessness. Our transitional housing program provides a safe, welcoming place for parents and children to rest, regroup, and work toward stable, permanent housing. If you are interested in volunteer possibilities, fill out the form on this page. You can join the 101 persons already approved and trained to volunteer.

    At an awards breakfast at the Samoset Resort in September 2025, Jay Foster of United Midcoast Charities presented a donation of $15,000 to MMHC board vice-chair Cathy Gray and board chair Kathy Muzzy to support the development of Family Harbor House.

NA Midcoast Maine Homeless Coalition, a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization, has created transitional housing at 23 Mill Lane in Belfast. We provide housing, nutrition, and support for 3 or 4 families at a time, using a mix of hired staff and community partners. With the support of local volunteers at the site, there is support for the families at night. We coordinate with many local organizations to provide case management and other services. In addition, we continue to provide funds to prevent homelessness – assisting families who are in danger of losing their housing due to lack of resources, and briefly assisting with some utility payments or rent.
