Like the traditional barn raising rooted deep in Midwestern tradition, this is our time to join together and "Raise the House" for our most vulnerable neighbors.

We've worked tirelessly to partner with multiple local and state agencies to secure $16.6 million towards this $18.1 million project.

We're asking for you to partner with us and help raise the additional $2 million to support the building, staff, and programs that will ensure that quality care is never compromised.

The only way forward is together, and I'm confident that we can all lend a hand and "Raise the House" for the love of our community. Won't you join me us as we reach for our goal?

2021 Point in Time (PIT) Census Preliminary Data

OFFICE OF HOUSING & HOMELESS PREVENTION THURSTON COUNTY, WASHINGTON
Each year, the Point in Time Census counts how many people are experiencing homelessness in counties nationwide. On January 28th, Thurston County volunteers observed households who were unsheltered (639 people). It is estimated there was an additional 121 individuals staying at local jails or hospitals, who had no permanent address to return to. The remaining included in this count stayed in Emergency Shelter*, or Transitional Housing* Projects.
