CONGREGATE SHELTER

about our shelter

We are a low-barrier agency that welcomes anyone regardless of behavioral health struggles. We do, however, have general health, safety & behavioral guidelines that will need to be followed.
As a general guideline, our congregate location shelters single men and women. If you are a family or couple in need of shelter, please see our Motel Voucher Program page.
Priority is given to those who are most medically and/or physically vulnerable and are without a vehicle or other means of temporary shelter.
Navigation and Housing Case Management services are available.
We are not licensed to shelter unaccompanied minors. If you are a minor in need of shelter, please contact Friends of Youth.
We are unable to accept registered sex offenders. If you are in need of shelter, please call 2-1-1.

other things to know

covid-19 guidelines

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to ensure proper social distancing, we have reduced the numbers of beds available in our congregate shelter to 14 and all guests must pre-register.
All new clients entering our shelter will be COVID tested prior to entry. Regular symptom checks are done if someone exhibits symptoms, and testing is available on site. We do have a sheltering plan in place should you show symptoms or test positive for COVID.
We are not currently under a mask mandate inside our shelter but reserve the right to require masking during times of illness and rises in COVID cases. Our goal is to keep our clients, staff and volunteers as healthy as possible during their time with us.

register for a bed

Contact our shelter at (425) 773-2874 to register for a bed.
Staff will provide information about our location and let you know if we have space in the shelter.
If no space is available, we will offer resources to other shelters.
We accept canine friends, too, so long as they are tame and leashed at all times.
