Modifications to the building were required, including updating two half bathrooms to full bathrooms, dividing one large room into two sleeping rooms, updating a kitchen, adding a washer and dryer, and installing fire doors and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Whitecap Builders donated design and labor costs. MMHC also worked with Viking Lumber, which donated materials.

UUCB Volunteers for the Family Harbor House Program are coordinated by Chris Cusson.
