Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Homeless & Housing, Homeless Shelters
Mission: To empower homeless families with children to get back into housing - and to stay there.
Programs: Housing first program - phfs helps families experiencing homelessness move quickly back into homes. Phfs helps families pay security deposits and 12-24 months of rent assistance. We also provide case management for 24 months to help families create action plans, balance their budget, connect to their new community, increase their income by getting jobs and education, and learn new skills they use to keep housing. This program served 653 people from 185 families during the 2016-2017 fiscal year.
night shelter - goose hollow is a night shelter that is open from 6:30pm-7:30am every day of the year. Families receive dinner, showers, laundry, computer access, storage for their belongings, sleeping space, and educational activities for children and their parents in the evening.
day shelter - thirteen salmon family center is the day shelter for the eight families that sleep at goose hollow. Families receive snacks, lunch, showers, computer access, and work with a housing specialist to try to find permanent housing. They also participate in classes on life skills including budgeting, parenting, tenant education and employment. In the fiscal year, 178 people from 51 families were served. Ninety-four percent of the families found permanent housing before they left the shelter.
