The Upper Snoqualmie Valley lacks an organization specifically focused on providing comprehensive housing stabilization services that reach people before they need emergency shelter.
The Front Door Community Service Center is the physical manifestation of our new mission to create pathways to stability, opportunity, and connection by pulling together a multitude of services in one location. This collection of services will be an important step in preventing homelessness while providing on-going support services for marginalized people.
Furthermore...
- People who are rent burdened need resources such as clothing, transportation assistance, and free laundry.
- Those who are experiencing behavioral health challenges need a welcoming place that can provide health service referrals and advocacy.
- Folks who are living outside need a refuge where they are warmly welcomed and can access food and hygiene supplies, etc.
Our mainstream community has expressed a desire to be more involved in helping to address issues of poverty. The Front Door will provide a space for receiving, processing, storing, and distributing in-kind donations.
Bringing all these services together, under one roof, will allow us to better serve our community and reduce homelessness in the long term.
