Mission Statement
To provide safe supportive housing to homeless youth, single adults, and families along with the skills and resources the need in order to leave homelessness permanently.
Description
The Self-Managed Housig Program (SMHP) provides low-cost, transitional housing and supportive services to homeless youth, single adults, and families with the goal of breaking the cycle of poverty and homelessness. Our "scattered site" model provides cooperative-style housing for homeless adults in residential neighborhoods throughout King County. The homes range in age and size, from a small house for a family of 4 to a large house providing seperate rooms for up to 8 individuals. Different from emergency shelters, these residences can house homeless men and women for up to two years.
