Building connection. Saving lives.

Advancing housing stability and overdose prevention in Northumberland County.

IHARC connects people experiencing homelessness and substance use to the right supports at the right time - with compassion, dignity, and no wrong door.

What IHARC does

We bring people, services, and communities together to create pathways to housing, health, and recovery that last.

Outreach

We meet people where they are - on the street, in shelters, and in community - to build trust and connection.

Service Navigation

We connect people to housing, healthcare, treatment, income supports, and other essential services.

Follow-up

We stay connected to support progress, reduce barriers, and prevent avoidable crises.

Partner Coordination

We work with community partners to align services and strengthen the local response system.
