EVERYONE DESERVES A HOME

Our mission is to help people in Northeast Seattle stay in their homes and off the streets.

These core values guide our work: compassionate listening; respect for all; and careful stewardship of the funds we receive.

We provide services without regard to race, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship status, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or age.
