Collectively, we can change systems for the better.

We believe that everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home. But right now, too many families in Washington are stuck in systems that don’t work. Rents are rising faster than wages. Benefits are hard to access and easy to lose. And the programs meant to help are often confusing, siloed, and out of reach. We’re working to change that—by focusing on what it takes to keep families housed in the first place, not just responding after they lose their homes.

We bring people together to build better systems—ones that are more fair, more connected, and more focused on preventing homelessness before it starts. We support community-led ideas, test new approaches, and work with policymakers to change the rules that hold families back. We use data to show what’s working and explain why it matters.

How We’re Different

• Prevention Focus: We prioritize prevention to stop homelessness before it begins, especially for children and youth.
• Lived Expertise: Our work is rooted in community voices, not done on their behalf.
• Systems Alignment: We work at the intersections of housing, education, and health to align fragmented systems and remove barriers.
• Policy Leadership: We are a trusted voice in Olympia, shaping legislation through data, coalition building, and bold advocacy.
• Trusted Bridge: We serve as a bridge between state systems, private institutions, and local communities—directing resources to trusted partners and ensuring proven solutions can be scaled for lasting impact.

This is a time to be bold and think big. We’re looking for partners to join us in action—supporting solutions shaped by communities, helping families stay housed, and building real change that lasts. That means working side by side with local leaders, lifting up the voices of people with lived experience, and coming together across sectors to push for smarter policies. We’re learning as we go—and sharing what works so that progress in one place can inspire change everywhere.
