Solid Ground WA

A nonprofit organization

Thanks to generous friends of Solid Ground, all donations will be MATCHED up to $62,000 through December 31! Any amount is meaningful and makes a difference in the lives of many.


Every year, families across King County struggle to make ends meet. And every year, thousands of them turn to Solid Ground for help – whether it’s to find and keep housing, get healthy and culturally appropriate food on the table, access essential state benefits, or move safely around their community to get where they need to go. We believe communities are strongest when everyone has the resources to be well and the stability to build pathways toward a brighter future.

Jalyssa is one of the tens of thousands of people who found stability and hope with Solid Ground. As a young mother who has long struggled with mental illness, she was overwhelmed and alone while caring for her rambunctious son in a Seattle-area homeless shelter. 

But Jalyssa was determined provide a decent life for her son. She worked to secure permanent, supportive housing at Solid Ground's Sand Point Housing campus, where they have had the support and stability to move beyond day-to-day survival and focus on living the life they want to live. Jalyssa has been able to pursue her love of writing – even performing in her first poetry slam – while getting regular support for her mental health. Her son, who was once nonverbal, is now talkative and thriving with the educational support that Jalyssa was able to set up with the help of Solid Ground staff.

Jalyssa’s story is what Solid Ground is all about: lifting up families and providing the stability and resources they need to live their best lives beyond poverty.


Your gift will not only help families thrive in supportive housing, but also helps:

  • Domestic violence survivors rebuilding their lives.
  • Rental assistance for neighbors at risk of losing their housing.
  • Families getting access to fresh produce, regardless of income.
  • Community members advocating for changes that help end poverty.
  • And so much more!

Together, we can continue to uplift those we serve, dismantle barriers to resources and opportunities, and fight poverty through service and advocacy!
