Family Harbor House

The Transitional Housing Program
of the Midcoast Maine Homeless Coalition

MMHC is preparing to open Family Harbor House, a transitional housing facility in 2,200 square feet of space at Belfast United Methodist Church. MMHC has signed a lease with the church and a required zoning and ordinance change has been approved by the City Council and the Planning Board. Modifications to the building are required, including updating two half bathrooms to full bathrooms, dividing one large room into two sleeping rooms, updating a kitchen, adding a washer and dryer, and installing fire doors and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Whitecap Builders has donated design and labor costs. We are also working with Viking Lumber for materials. Once the construction is done, the rooms will be painted and furnished.

We will post updates and photos here as move toward opening a program of transitional housing for families in Belfast!
