About Us

The Interfaith Family Shelter operates 5 emergency shelter programs to help families with children in Snohomish County overcome homelessness and achieve permanent housing:

1. The Family Shelter (Everett, WA) - accommodates 11 families

2. Scattered site shelters: Miracle House (Marysville, WA) - accommodates 2 families; Hospitality House (Everett, WA) - accommodates 3 families

3. Madison Family Shelter (Everett, WA) - tiny-home community, accommodates 8 families

4. Cars-to-Housing - safe-parking-and-rehousing program for families living in their vehicles, accomodates 5 families

What sets us apart:

• We provide families with up to 90 days of shelter, and the resources to rebuild their lives.
• We accept single dads and families with teenage sons (not accepted at many other shelters) - this keeps families together!
• We operate 43% of all family shelter units in Snohomish County!

We have among the highest success rates in Snohomish County: 72% of families achieve permanent housing after our 90-day program ...and 80% of them are still housed one year later.
