Our Mission: To End Homelessness
Lake City Partners has a vision for a compassionate community that provides universal access to housing.
About Us
At Lake City Partners, our mission is to end homelessness by providing shelter and supportive services, so that people have increased opportunities for stabilization, recovery, and permanent housing.
We activate our mission by providing Shelter, Day Center, Outreach, and Client Services in the North Seattle/King County area. We work closely with many other organizations, government agencies, and service providers. We encourage our community members to participate in our collective work through volunteering, advocacy, and organizing work.
Since 2015, we have been supporting unhoused people in our community with direct outreach and shelter operations. Our origin story begins with community driven street outreach and a nightly ‘winter shelter’ program during the winter months hosted by area congregations around North Seattle.
Today, our work is a central component of the North Seattle/King County response to homelessness, with 40+ staff and 100s of volunteers/supporters.
We build trusted relationships with people who are experiencing homelessness. We work together with people to overcome their barriers to housing. We end homelessness for people.
