We are the largest provider of housing for homeless young adults in King County. We offer a variety of housing programs, including rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and independent living. We provide support to young people seeking housing, specifically focused on serving young people who are exiting foster care or have experienced homelessness.
We help young people achieve their goals and become self-sufficient. We offer job readiness support, internship programs, and assist with diploma attainment. Our Drop-In Center connects young people with resource specialists who are available to help with applications, financial aid, job searching and resumes 5 days a week (Monday - Thursday 1:30 pm - 5:30 pm and Friday 10:00 am - 2:00 pm).
