Through our continued expansion, the ongoing effort of the agency is to serve rural communities in Arizona to fight poverty and build healthy, self-sufficient youth and families. The services we provide to the homeless youth population through shelters in Mohave County, have proved to be crucial towards building solid foundations. ​​​

​​

Safety & Support

Harbor House (Kingman) and Providence Place (Bullhead City) are Basic Center Programs that address the needs of runaway and homeless youth and their families in Mohave County and its surrounding communities. The programs are built on the principles of positive youth development, emphasizing the strength of each individual and family unit served.

​

Harbor House and Providence Place work with youth and their caregivers to create a plan to either reunite youth with their families or another trusted adult. This plan may include personal goals, counseling, job skills, drug and alcohol education and academics.

A Place to Regroup

These shelters offer a safe place for youth to regroup and chart a new course in their life. They have served as spaces for youth to learn their potential and work towards a positive life with the support of the trusted AZYP team. Harbor House offers temporary shelter for up to 21 days to 50 runaway and homeless male youth, while Providence Place offers the same services for runaway and homeless female youth. The centers currently have 4 beds available for emergency shelter.

Building Skills for the Future

Harbor House and Providence Place also reach youth through several outreach activities including weekly youth sessions focusing on life skills and character development utilizing Botvin’s Life Skills curriculum.​
