At Council for the Homeless we believe housing is a human need and our mission is to prevent and end homelessness in Clark County, WA. We serve as the central access point for homelessness and housing assistance countywide and our staff assist people each day through our Housing Hotline, Outreach, Housing Coordination, and programs for specific groups such as seniors, families, and Veterans.

Heroes for the Homeless has continued its mission to help those who live outdoors without the assistance of organized shelter. Volunteers travel by car and on foot to minister to the most vulnerable of the homeless including those sleeping on the streets of Seattle in doorways, alleys, parks, at bus stops, inside and underneath trash receptacles, under viaducts, bridges, highway overpasses, in abandoned buildings, encampments, and inside makeshift homes constructed of cardboard. Heroes for the Homeless is committed to making a difference in their lives by offering food, a hot beverage, clothing, hygiene products, outdoor survival supplies, and information on how to get social service assistance. We support clients by providing them with basic needs while they endure the long wait to secure low-income/affordable housing. In doing this we also help them stay independent and out of the criminal justice system. Monthly outreach serves an average of 250 individuals and is funded through the generous contributions of its volunteer staff and other concerned citizens, a grant from the Turner Foundation of Washington, and assistance from community partners including the Salvation Army William Booth Center and Emergency Feeding Program of Seattle and King County.

Their mission is to provide runaway and homeless youth safe shelter, assist in the prevention and resolution of family conflicts, and reunify families whenever possible.

Gifts for the Homeless, Inc. ("GFTH") is a nonprofit organization founded and staffed by volunteers from the Washington, D.C. area legal community. The principal objective of GFTH is to raise money for the purchase of new clothing and collect donations of certain types of used clothing and other needed items from attorneys and staff of Washington, D.C. area law firms, government agencies, in-house corporate legal departments and other legal organizations. In pursuing this objective, the GFTH Board of Directors has established the following priorities: to reach the homeless who live on the street in all four quadrants of the District of Columbia; to reach the homeless who live in shelters and in transitional housing; to reach the homeless in neighboring communities outside the District of Columbia when, and if, GFTH believes it has fully served the needs of the District; and to build a reputation for reliability by working with a core group of homeless service providers. GFTH does not typically distribute clothing directly to individuals living on the street, but works through a network of over 70 homeless service providers that include shelters, temporary residences and soup kitchens and wagons. GFTH pursues its objectives through a two-track approach. GFTH solicits direct monetary donations from the Washington, D.C. area legal community to purchase new clothes. Typically, items purchased include: (1) warm winter accessories, such as hats and gloves; (2) undergarments, such as thermals, socks and underwear; and (3) heavy bedding items, such as polar fleeces. GFTH also accepts donations of certain types of used clothing and other needed items during a large clothing drive each fall. The used clothing effort seeks to obtain those items most frequently requested by homeless service providers: (1) warm winter clothing, such as winter coats, sweaters and turtlenecks; (2) business attire, such as suits, shirts, blouses, ties and shoes; and (3) household linens, such as sheets, pillowcases and towels.
