Family Shelter provides both short-term (up to 4 weeks) and long-term (up to 3 months) emergency shelter for families. Shelter units are fully furnished apartments located in neighborhoods like Fremont, Magnolia, Queen Anne and Crown Hill, within walking distance of grocery stores and bus lines. They are safe, clean and in good repair. We try to place families close to familiar surroundings so children can continue going to their own schools and all family members can easily stay in touch with their support networks. Family Shelter serves single parent and two parent families. It can accommodate families with large numbers of children, including older teens.

Program clients receive intensive case management services including counseling, referrals to other needed resources, personal hygiene supplies, and transportation assistance—bus tickets. Our primary program goal is to help families find more permanent housing—or improve their chances of doing so—while in the program.
