If You Are Homeless

The Washington State Coalition for the Homeless does not provide direct services to people who are experiencing homelessness, or who are at risk of becoming homeless. However, we hope these resources will help you get connected to the right services for you.

Seattle-King County Coalition on Homelessness

Regular Meetings: 3rd Thursday from 9-11 a.m., East Cherry YWCA, 2820 E. Cherry, Seattle, WA

Mission: The Seattle – King County Coalition for the Homeless is a coalition of organizations and individuals working together to provide adequate and appropriate emergency responses, address the causes and break the cycle of homelessness.

The Seattle – King County Coalition for the Homeless was formed in 1979. We have grown from five shelters to over seventy nonprofit and governmental agencies, as well as private individuals, which seek to advocate and educate on vital issues and public policies related to homelessness and to sustain and advocate for homeless services.

In addition to the general meeting, SKCCH has 7 active committees. The committees each meet once a month. All members are encouraged to join and participate in one of the following committees:
