The Signal Vol 3 No 3 Year in Review 2011

Recently at the annual Client Appreciation Dinner, when Harbor Light staff and graduates

put on a formal dinner for the program residents, Harbor Light graduate Tiffany Smith showed

up ready to be of service. She came dressed nicely so she could enjoy the dinner which also

caters to graduates of the program. In her bag, were two changes of clothes. One was a pair of

black pants and a white shirt which she had ready in case she was asked to wait tables; the oth-

er was a pair of jeans and T-shirt which she had ready to do the dishes in. Tiffany came ready

to help out that night; to put other people‟s needs ahead of her own. And she thought to herself,

“This is not the Tiffany of just a few years ago.”

Tiffany, a native San Franciscan, grew up in the Potrero Street Projects. She attended Mission

High followed by Ida Wells, but she never graduated. After the death of her sister, when Tiffa-

ny was 15, she turned to drugs, alcohol and a life of seemingly small crimes that kept her

locked into the county penal system. She was in and out of the juvenile system and later the

city jail. She would serve 2 days, 30 days, 90 days; she began to see as much time in the sys-

tem as out. It seemed to her that life was never going to change.

Then, in 2008, Tiffany received a sentence

of 9 months for car theft. It was during the

sentencing phase that she had a moment of

clarity; she thought to herself that her life

was passing her by. “Enough is enough”

she thought. Feeling called to do something

different, she acted; she asked for help. Her

Public Defender offered her the chance to

enter a program rather than jail; Tiffany

jumped at the chance and entered the pro-

gram at Gracenter. It was there that her life

began to change. (Continued on Page 2)

When Enough is Enough - Tiffany’s Story

The Signal Special Year in Review Edition Winter 2011

2011 – The Year in Review

One of the goals of The Salvation Army is to save souls, and it is with that task in mind that

the Harbor Light Center operates every day. For the last 70 years the Center has reached out to

help those in need to recover their lives. 2011 has been an incredibly active year developing

new programs, building relationships with our community, and improving our program‟s facili-

ties all keeping with the mission of The Salvation Army in meeting human needs in His name

without discrimination.

The following annual review covers a number of our highlights from the year, though by no

means can it cover all of the wonderful successes we have seen in 2011. Each face, every soul

we meet is a success and every partner and volunteer we

work with ensures our capability to continue to address the

needs in our community. Throughout this issue are photo-

graphs that reflect the wealth of community support that

we are blessed to receive. I hope you enjoy this special

issue of “The Signal” as we reflect on the year gone by.

Gracenter, a women‟s recovery home with a

history here in San Francisco dating back to

the 1930‟s, helped Tiffany to begin her jour-

ney. Gracenter provided her with a founda-

tion of recovery and self-respect that enabled

Tiffany to stay on track. Tiffany recalled that

after 3 months she was ready to get out of

there. “I began to shake when I thought of

leaving. When I shake I feel like jail time is

coming.” By the grace of God Tiffany re-

mained, and she completed her 6 month stay

and commitment. She knew however that her

journey was not complete, so she asked her

counselor to help her find another program.

She showed Tiffany the list of available plac-

es, and seeing the look of confusion on Tiffa-

ny‟s face she said “just pick one.” Tiffany

looked again and said, “What‟s this Harbor

Light place?” The woman answered by pick-

ing up the phone and making a call.

Tiffany entered the Harbor Light in 2009.

Admittedly, she did not want to be there.

“I felt that I had enough of institutions and

that this was just another one,” she said. “I

was ready to leave when I got there. My

counselor, Barbara, saw this and she pulled

me aside. She asked me a simple question:

„Where are you going to go?‟ And I broke

down crying. I knew I couldn‟t go back to

where I came from. My mind, now 7 months

sober, was clearer than it had ever been. So,

despite how I was feeling I decided to stay. I

am so glad that I did.”

Life at the Harbor Light was challenging for

Tiffany. She had to break down barriers that

she had used to keep the world out, she was

challenged to forge relationships with her

fellow female residents when she was more

comfortable hanging with the boys, and she

learned the value of committing to a full

day‟s work even though she felt like she

would rather be doing other things. Though

Tiffany felt that she was struggling with the-

se changes, she continued to apply herself

every day to succeeding in meeting her chal-

lenges. The Harbor Light program works

because it does more than provide a safe ha-

ven; it provides an opportunity for changing

one‟s whole life. Tiffany embraced the

change and faced her fears to become some-

thing new, something wonderful; the Tiffany

all of us here know and admire.

Tiffany took her time to let the program work

for her, and to work the program to its‟ full-

est. She graduated in 2011 after 2 years and 2

months as a resident.; Tiffany left only after

she was ready to move on. She now has her

own place, sober friends, a great program,

and a satisfying job working at the front desk

of the Harbor Light. She is a spirited and

wonderful person to know and an inspiration

to the residents, particularly the women, of

the Harbor Light.

At the annual dinner, following the meal,

Tiffany was asked to help with the coffee and

tea service. She popped up from her dinner,

changed into her black pants and white shirt,

and took to serving those still seated. After-

wards she spent time helping to clean up

alongside some of her fellow Harbor Light

graduates. “I felt at home that night” she said.

You would have to see the gleam in her eye

as she said this to get the whole story, but I

am sure you can imagine it. The look of a

woman who has her whole life ahead of her,

and it looks great.

Programs at the Harbor Light Center

Great focus has been given to programs at the Harbor Light Center this past year; in particular

is a strong emphasis on adding programs to both Harbor Light and Harbor House that enable

participants to prepare for their lives in the working world. New to the Harbor Light this year

is a certified Parenting Class, a dual purpose program that helps both residents with children

to improve their parenting skills, as well as single residents to heal their perhaps difficult

years of family histories. In addition, the Harbor Light introduced a certified Anger Manage-

ment course that helps individuals contend with strong emotional challenges. The Anger Man-

agement class meets court standards and assists clients who are working to address the re-

quirements of the justice system.

Across campus, Harbor House has developed their Court Advocacy Component into a pro-

gram of prominence. Child custody cases, where the court has almost had to close the books

due to the parent‟s relationship with the court system, are the focus of the Component work-

ers. Harbor House staff, working closely with the Superior Court and Sherriff‟s Department,

have developed a process of intervention on behalf of deserving program participants. Their

goal: to re-unite parents in recovery with their children. This year Harbor House created a full

-time staff position to be, in part, dedicated to their Court Advocacy work. So far, Harbor

House has been 100% successful in their court advocacy efforts.

Harbor Light Detox, since its reintroduction to our campus in 2008, has been developing into

a full-fledged primary recovery program. This year the Harbor Light Detox added a formal

counseling component to its program. Whereas support has always been available through the

Detox staff, clients now have a full time Primary Counselor to help individuals learn about

addiction and the opportunities for treatment outside of Detox. In addition, Detox has added

more in house AA meetings, two weekend NA meetings, and an increased number of group

meetings to help clients learn the power of recovery with a community of people. All told, the

Harbor Light Detox, one of only two detox centers in San Francisco, has developed into a full

-fledged primary program for persons needing to break the cycle of addiction.

Preparing individuals for success outside of the Harbor Light Center is a critical component of

the center‟s comprehensive treatment plan. In 2011 career preparation courses were imple-

mented to assist residents of Harbor House and Harbor Light transition from treatment into

the working world. At Harbor House, the Workforce Services Component has been developed

to help residents find job training and placement opportunities. The program offers assistance

in resume preparation, job searching, interview preparation, and more. Through the efforts of

Harbor House staff, over 200 MOU‟s (Memorandum of Understanding) are now signed with

local employers who are willing to hire Harbor House residents that were formally incarcer-

ated. Harbor Light has implemented a similar program through their Employment Readiness

Workshop offered once a month to residents with more than six-months in the house and who

are eligible to begin work (See The Signal Vol3 No2: “Harbor Light Employment Readiness

Class: A Model for Success”). This class, similar to the program at Harbor House, trains resi-

dents in job search and application skills. Class participants are coached through writing their

first resume and given mock interviews to prepare them for application process. Job place-

ment opportunities are also available to qualified residents. Together, these programs help

Harbor Light Center residents make a successful transition into the next phase of their lives in

sobriety.

Childcare

The Childcare facility located on the second floor of Harbor House is a State licensed facility

that tends to infants, toddlers, and preschool aged children. To tend to such a young population

requires significant staffing by regular and volunteer workers who are capable of caring for the

development needs of these precious souls. Many of those in our care come from challenging

family situations and their needs are great. The staff of Childcare are committed to the well-

being and healthy development of the children entrusted to their care.

This year Childcare had several golden highlights. First, they were inspected by the “Gateway

to Quality” team using the Infant Toddler Environmental Rating Scale (ITERS) and Early

Childhood Environmental Rating Scale (ECERS). This is a rigorous examination that takes into

account all aspect of a facility‟s operation. Childcare scored so well that they became eligible

for increased local grant funding. Second, the program added a new position to their team; in

April of 2011 the role of “Master Teacher” was filled. The process of identifying the right can-

didate for this role was a long one, and the winning candidate has been of great value to the

staff and children of Childcare. Lastly, the Childcare facility received an improvement through

a grant for $1,000.00 that allowed for a garden to be put in place. It is important for young

minds to watch things grow and the new garden is powerful teacher as well as a thing of beauty

for all to enjoy.

The Lighthouse Corps

At the heart of the Harbor Light Center is its Corps headed by Envoy Roger McCort and Corps

Assistant Trey Hiller. Together, and with the help of volunteers and their summer day camp

staff, they have had an amazing year of service to God and the community. The following are a

few of the Corps many services to the community in 2011.

The Corps Homeless Outreach program, which goes out three nights a week plus a Sunday

morning distribution outside of chapel, saw over 1,100 volunteers donate 8,800 plus hours to

deliver over 85,000 sandwiches and hot meals, 14,541 items of clothing, and 10,061 comfort

kits and gifts. Sundays, Envoy McCort offered 52 Sunday services in as many weeks with a

total attendance of 3,247 souls, many of whom are residents of the Harbor Light Center and the

Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC). In addition to Sunday services, Roger and Trey offer week-

ly Bible studies, Soldiership classes, and Christian based recovery meetings; all told they of-

fered 143 evangelic meetings attended by 3,707 persons.

Youth programs are a big part of the life of the Lighthouse Corps with on-going Youth Scout-

ing Programs that started in September. The programs provide Bible based character building

programs for youth here at the Harbor Light Center. Aided by volunteers from the new

Bayview Center headed by Soldier Jen Arens, the Corps staff worked with over 50 children in

the course of the year.

Lastly, Day Camp was a huge success this summer. The Lighthouse Corps offered 8 full weeks

of camp and served 110 children during that time while averaging around 25 children per day.

Day campers were served over 3,300 meals to fuel their activity. They spent over 2,400 hours

in educational activities which included Bible lessons, arts and crafts, and educational field

trips, and they played together for more than 1,400 hours in the safety of the Harbor Light Cen-

ter and some of our local playgrounds. Day Camp was an immensely successful activity; we

still miss the sounds of the children‟s voices filling the grounds of the Center.

The alcoholics and drug addicts, who walk through the front door at The Harbor Light Center

or stumble into Detox, are usually in desperate shape both spiritually and physically. That‟s

why the Center‟s inspired staff of cooks and I are working so hard to ensure that they get the

nourishment they need; nourishment that allows them to focus on transforming their lives and

finding lasting recovery.

It is hard to believe it has been almost two years since I had the honor of taking the helm of the

Food Services department at The Harbor Light Center. It has been a wild, exhausting, and ex-

hilarating ride. My staff and I have built upon the innovations we made during my first year on

the job. We continue to work with the organic vendors, local farmers, San Francisco Food

Bank, Foodrunners and Feed the Bay to provide residents, and our clients still drying out in

detox, with the chance to fall in love with tasty greens, sugar free cereals, wholesome breads,

baked goods, nuts, fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, juices and herbal tea.

In the past two years Envoy Roger McCort, Trey Hiller (Corps Assistant) and I have expanded

The Salvation Army‟s food service to some of San Francisco‟s most destitute and forgotten

residents: the homeless alcoholics and drug addicts, prostitutes, and the mentally ill people con-

demned to the street. We also find ourselves serving, in the current economic situation, the

parents with little children who have run out of options. We take out our well-equipped mobile

canteen, filled with food we have cooked in our humble HLC kitchen, and drive to some of the

tougher neighborhoods. We go to places that most people avoid so we can serve up piping hot

healthy meals, bread, fruit, coffee and water to those in great need. We hope these meals can

keep some folks alive long enough so they can find redemption and recovery. It‟s some of the

most rewarding and inspiring work I do.

With the help of Envoy Jack Clitheroe, and the Harbor Light Center Food Services staff (most

of who are Harbor Light Center alumni), the kitchen and dining facilities here at the Harbor

Light Center are able to serve so many people. I believe our work truly embodies one of The

Salvation Army‟s most vital missions: We are honored to be “Doing the Most Good” for our

brothers and sisters in recovery and those on the streets who have yet to find the road to home.

Respectfully, Shawne Bradley, Food Services Manager

Developing Community Relationships (Continued)

Special recognition must be given to two particular organizations and the events they brought to the Harbor Light Center in

2011: Rodan + Fields and the Department of Veteran Affairs.

Rodan + Fields have been incredible supporters of the Harbor House program and in particular they have brought several

events every year to help the children of Harbor House (see Rodan + Fields article on Page 9 of this issue). Back in October

of 2011, the Department of Veteran Affairs held their west coast “Ending Veteran Homelessness” kick-off event here at the

Harbor Light Center. Speakers at this event included Representative Nancy Pelosi, State Senator Marc Leno, and Mayor Ed

Lee. The event brought over 80 different organizations and approximately 300 guests to the Harbor Light Center campus to

hear speakers talk about the plans to address the tragedy of Veteran homelessness in our area (see pictures below and Page

10). The event was a great success and highlighted the importance of the Harbor Light Center as “ground zero” for the ef-

forts to address Veteran homelessness in San Francisco.



Veterans’ Services and Programs

Veterans form a significant percentage of the population at the Harbor Light Center, and this year the center as a whole has

improved its already excellent service to Veterans by adding staff and occupancy opportunities specifically for our Veteran

community. This year, Harbor House added the full time position of Veteran‟s Affairs (VA) Contracts Coordinator - the

same position that acts as the Court Advocacy specialist. The coordinator‟s responsibilities include specialized knowledge of

VA contracts and Veteran‟s benefits. This person assists the Harbor House Veterans to make the most use of the workforce

services component at Harbor House: this includes resumes, employer linkages, and on the job trainings. At Harbor Light,

an additional Veteran‟s Counselor position was created to help increase the counselor to client ratio and provide more

individualized counseling and services to the Harbor Light Veteran community.

Harbor House began working with the Community of Veterans Engaged in Restoration (COVER) Project in the City and

County of San Francisco in 2010. Harbor Light came on board in 2011. Together, along with the staff of COVER, they help

incarcerated Veterans break the cycle of crime through living in recovery. This year both Harbor House and Harbor Light

Detox began to receive formerly incarcerated Veterans into their respective programs to offer them a chance to dedicate

themselves to changing their lives. Harbor Light Detox has begun an assessment program for newly released inmates

entering recovery; the clients, though they have been sober in incarceration, take time in Detox to adjust to their new lifestyle

out of jail, and to demonstrate their sincere desire to enter into a program of recovery. All together this vibrant partnership

with the City and County of San

Francisco is allowing

incarcerated Veteran‟s a new

hope; an opportunity to leave the

penal system for a life of

sobriety and freedom.


Veterans’ Services and Programs (Continued)

In 2011, Harbor House continued working with the Veterans‟ Employment Community (VEC).

This organization assists Veterans seeking work opportunities by providing them with financial

and material assistance to reach their employment goals. For example, this year a Harbor

House resident was ready to go to work as a contractor but lacked the means to pay for his con-

tractor‟s license. VEC paid for his license fees so he could move past that economic hurdle and

succeed in using his talents and skills in the workforce. This is just one example of how VEC

has helped participants of the Harbor House program. Marcy Orosco, MSW, the Harbor House

Program Director, joined the VEC board in 2009 and was designated as the primary contact by

VEC to work with corporations that hire Veterans. Marcy will continue to be an active member

of their ongoing work in the Veteran‟s community in the years to come.

Program Facilities

The facilities of the Harbor Light Center are always undergoing some level of improvement on

top of the regular upkeep essential to providing a quality recovery environment, but 2011 had a

couple of momentous achievements worth highlighting. First was the restoration of the Harbor

Light building‟s façade (See The Signal Vol 3 No 1: “Harbor Light Center Building Receives a

Makeover”). The Harbor Light was originally a tile manufacturing company and plant; the

building was first constructed in 1875, and it was modified in 1937. The exterior is a classic

terra-cotta façade, which is to say it is made of stone, and like any other stone it wears away.

The wear to the building‟s exterior was beginning to escalate as stone wears lightly at first,

then increases as the crack and crevices become more significant. In 2011 the Harbor Light

received a full make over; all the holes were patched and places where the stone work had

worn away were replaced. If you drive by our Center now you will see the building as it has not

been seen in probably 70 years.

Our second big change was to our kitchen and dining facilities. It was in 2011 that Chef

Shawne Bradley, the Food Services Manager, brought the Harbor Light Center kitchen facili-

ties into top shape. Bit by bit she has improved every aspect of the kitchen‟s infrastructure;

from the balance of the diet served, the quality of food served, and the training of the food han-

dlers (cooks), to the way the equipment and floors are cleaned, the way foods are stored before

serving, and the management of the kitchen equipment. In 2011 Chef Shawne and her kitchen

received a grade of 100 from the City and County of San Francisco Department of Public

Health. This is a spectacular achievement and speaks volumes of the dedication Chef Shawne

and her staff have to the care of the kitchen facilities and the care of the people they serve.

Looking Forward to 2012

So much has happened in 2011 that we could fill page upon page with news of our events and

Thank-You‟s to those that have been of service to the Harbor Light Center. This brief article is

but a taste of the success here at our Center in the last year. The following pages contain pic-

tures of many of our events and the people that made them possible. We hope you enjoy them

as we look forward to 2012 and the many blessings that this new year will bring.

Thank You Rodan + Fields Prescription for Change Foundation!!!

Rodan + Fields held their annual Holiday Party for the children and families of Harbor House on December 15, 2011. The

Rodan + Fields Prescription for Change Foundation is dedicated to helping others change their lives in a meaningful manner.

According to Rodan + Fields staff, “This was the best holiday party ever!”

The event was all about the children and teenagers of Harbor House. As usual Rodan + Fields staff attended to every detail

of the party from decorations to cookies with help from the Harbor House staff Program Manager, Myra Richmond, House

Manager, Priscilla Packineau, and Assistant House Manager Jeanine Paderenga The Harbor Light Center culinary staff and

their supervisor, Chef Shawne Bradley, cooked a meal that was a delight for all.

The Foundation is a non-profit organization funded through Rodan & Fields, LLC, and voluntary contributions by Rodan +

Fields Consultants. The funding provided by the Foundation supports programs that meet the Foundation‟s criteria for help-

ing others change their lives in a meaningful manner; programs that prescribe a path to survival and healing for individuals

and families who are at their most dire crossroads.

The Foundation‟s criteria are as follows:

• The project must seek to improve self esteem;

• The project must provide supportive services that help establish a life of self-sufficiency; and

• The project must have a broad focus, including children, teens, adults and families.

Harbor House fits all of the above criteria. Rodan + Fields holds several events for Harbor House annually, and their consult-

ants, particularly Tenaya Garrett, have virtually adopted Harbor House families. We want to give a big THANK YOU to

Sarah Rothman and Elana Schuldt, who once again, provided all the organizing for the party. Thank you again Drs. Rodan +

Fields for your generosity.
