Lake City Partners Ending Homelessness

Mission

At Lake City Partners, our mission is to end homelessness by providing shelter and supportive services, so that people have increased opportunities for stabilization, recovery, and permanent housing.  We build trusted relationships with people who are experiencing homelessness. We work together with people to overcome their barriers to housing. We help people who are experiencing unsheltered homelessness access emergency shelter and place 15 to 20 people into permanent supportive housing each month.

Description

We activate our mission by providing shelter, outreach, and client services in the North Seattle/King County area. We work closely with many other organizations, government agencies, and service providers. We encourage our community members to participate in our collective work through volunteering, advocacy, and organizing work.

Since 2015, we have been supporting unhoused people in our community with direct outreach and shelter operations. Our origin story begins with community driven street outreach and a nightly ‘winter shelter’ program during the winter months hosted by area congregations around North Seattle.

Today, our work is a central component of the North Seattle/King County response to homelessness, with 40+ staff and 100s of volunteers/supporters.

By providing Outreach, Day Center, and Enhanced Shelter services we engage with people wherever they are along the pathway to housing and begin the process of being in relationship with them, creating a history of trusting acceptance and becoming a partner they can work with. Our Client Services team builds on those relationships to support people in accessing immediate needs, shelter, and housing.
