Solution

Solution

The New Interfaith Works Homeless Services Program

The solution is a modern building that will meet both the emergency needs of our community and provide permanent supportive housing and services for people experiencing homelessness.

What you can do

Invest in Our Community

You have a part in contributing to the last $2 million needed to turn the new Interfaith Works Shelter into a home where quality care is never compromised. These funds will cover furnishings, a responsible reserve fund, and staffing to enable us to provide 24/7 care. Those we serve need your support, and our community deserves solutions to the housing crisis.

Our residents call the Interfaith Works Shelter home - and with your help, we’ll build a structure that reinforces that message at every turn.

Read our Case Statement identifying the problem, statistics, our background and what sets us apart, our detailed solutions and how you can invest in our community.

This project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2021.

Shelter, Housing, and Care

Shelter

Shelter

The ground floor will house a 60-bed shelter, increasing our sheltering capacity by nearly 50%. The space will include a full kitchen, bathrooms with showers, storage space, and washers and dryers. The shelter will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as opposed to our current night-time-only operation. This will better serve not only our guests but the community at large by providing our guests a place to be during the day.
Partnership

Partnership

The City of Olympia has purchased a site at 2828 Martin Way in Olympia, and is partnering with the Low Income Housing Institute, a non-profit organization that develops and manages hundreds of affordable housing complexes statewide, on this exciting project. We are committed to working together with the surrounding neighborhood to ensure this effort is successful for everyone.
Permanent Supportive Housing

Supportive Housing

Above the shelter will be 65 apartments whose tenants will receive support services designed to build independent living and tenancy skills and connect people with community-based health care, treatment and employment services. This is known as permanent supportive housing, which is in very short supply in Thurston County.
Budget

Budget

The investment for this project is $18.1 million. The construction cost of $16.6 million will be secured through the Washington State Trust Fund, the City of Olympia Home Fund, the Thurston County Housing Pipeline, and the Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit program.
We now need just $2 million to support the building, staff and programs that will ensure that quality care is never compromised.
