Safe Harbor Foundation is registered with the Red Cross, the FEMA CCR website and the State of Texas Disaster Preparedness Teams and CMBL website. Safe Harbor Foundation has been a FEMA first responder and a FEMA CERT member for over 3 years now and has assisted in many natural disaster operations of search and rescue, cleanup and rebuild within a 500 mile radius of the Texas Facility.
This of course includes the hurricanes of Katrina which devastated New Orleans just two years ago and just recently Hurricane Ike which laid waste to the Houston and Galveston areas, as many other smaller towns surrounding these larger cities. Another circumstance where Safe Harbor Foundation was on the scene with a rescue team, equipment and vehicles, was the tornadoes that touched down in Western Dallas, Eastern Fort Worth and Canton/Greenville area just this past year. The Oklahoma “Tornado Alley” corridor has long time been an active area of operations for us.
Additionally being able to provide emergency housing, food and supplies for those displace by these types of natural disasters has always been one of Safe Harbor Foundations strong points. We campaign tirelessly to builders of cabins, metal buildings, hunting cabins and other such types of emergency occupiable facilities to acquire additional shelters for emergency housing purposes since the calamity of Hurricane Katrina. We have also approached manufacturers of construction type trailers and even the construction sites themselves to donate their equipment to this much needed cause.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSA), is one of the fastest growing federal agencies and recognizes a serious shortage in chemical dependency counselors and addiction experts. In 2004, SAMSA announced a series of program priorities to include “cultivating systems at the national, state, and local levels that are responsive not only to current trends in addiction treatment and substance abuse prevention.”
In response to SAMSA agency mandates, Congressional appropriations have been allocated to expand service capacity in targeted treatment and prevention areas, and to identify and address emerging factors that inevitably will have a direct impact on the shape and character of future mental health and substance abuse service delivery systems.
Safe Harbor Foundation has addressed this shortage by employing our own 24/7 Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselors at the Safe Harbor Foundation Texas based Ranch. These specialized individuals are available to occupants of the facility on as needed basis, and now they are available to the public on an appointment basis only. We accept checks, cash, Visa and Mastercard, Medicaid and private insurance as forms of payment for these services.
