Harbor House

Mission: To serve all people impacted by domestic and sexual violence, lead the shift in perception of violence, and advocate for lasting social change.

Harbor House is the singular agency in Outagamie and Calumet Counties committed to the awareness and prevention of domestic abuse, located in Appleton, with additional programs at our Calumet County Outreach office in Chilton. As passionate advocates, we constantly seek to start, drive, and shape the conversation around domestic abuse and the services needed to break the cycle. We do everything in our power to keep individuals and families safe through knowledge and connection.

Our vision is to have our community fully educated and engaging in healthy relationship actions, so our whole community can be safe, respected and free of domestic and sexual violence.

Available to shelter residents as well as non-residents, our free programming and services help individuals live a fulfilling life. All of our staff are highly trained in domestic abuse client advocacy and diversity awareness, with formal educational backgrounds in social work, human services, and education. With the exception of our temporary shelter, all of the services offered at our Appleton location are also available through our Chilton office.
