Released in celebration of Safe Harbors’ 25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee Gala, the first episode of This is Safe Harbors takes listeners back to the organization’s beginnings. Executive Director Lisa Silverstone hosts a compelling conversation with founder Tricia Haggerty Wenz, who recounts the journey to transform the former Hotel Newburgh into affordable, supportive housing. Joining the discussion are two early partners: Douglas Hovey, President and CEO of Independent Living Inc., an advocacy and service agency that has partnered with Safe Harbors since the beginning to provide residents with supportive case management, and by Safe Harbors' founding Director of Operations Ramona Monteverde, who recently retired after 22 years with the organization. Together, they reflect on the vision, collaboration, fateful connections, and persistence that brought Safe Harbors to life.
