In difficult times, LCP strives to do more for those in need. Here’s what we have been up to this year.

In 2026, Lake City Partners has worked hard to find ways to continue the important work of moving people from tent to front door. At Aurora Oaks we have have expanded shelter capacity at Aurora Oaks by approximately 15%. This is nearly an additional 3000 bed nights provided annually. The expanded shelter capacity is directly aimed at providing more private room shelter space to couples. This is the scarcest resource in the emergency shelter landscape. We now serve 33% more couples than we did in 2025. Aurora Oaks has a 98.4% shelter bed utilization rate in 2026.

At the GLA Day Center we have GLA has served 6500 clients in 2026 (this is not unique visitors) and provided 2800 showers the ability to complete 850 loads of laundry.

Our Assistance Points Sites have met with nearly 700 clients already this year. This has us on pace to surpass the 1,300 we met with last year (despite a reduction in service sites).

We have provided approximately $3000 in move-in assistance costs for clients to secure permanent housing and $7500 in Lyft rides to health and housing appointments.

We are deeply thankful for your support and trust, and we look forward to continuing this work alongside you in the year ahead. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to talk more about the report, our programs, or opportunities for continued collaboration.

2025 Impact Report & Q4 Data

This past year marked a period of significant growth and momentum for our organization—and much of that success is directly tied to our supporters and partners. Together, we served more people, moved more individuals into permanent housing, expanded shelter capacity, and strengthened the systems that support people experiencing homelessness across North King County and beyond.

Open Our 2025 Impact Report!

Together, we served more people, moved more individuals into permanent housing, expanded shelter capacity, and strengthened the systems that support people experiencing homelessness across North King County and beyond.

In 2025, Lake City Partners more than tripled the number of people supported through Housing Assistance Points, nearly doubled emergency shelter access, and increased housing placements by more than 20 percent. We launched new programs in direct response to emerging needs, maintained consistently high performance at Aurora Oaks, and continued to operate as a reliable access point and implementation partner within the broader homelessness response system. These outcomes reflect not just organizational growth, but the power of coordinated, values-aligned partnership.

At the same time, we are entering a period of uncertainty. Political shifts, funding pressures, and changing public narratives around homelessness are already influencing the environment in which we all work. While the path ahead may be more complex, our commitment remains unchanged: to stay grounded in data, accountability, and human-centered solutions, and to show that effective, compassionate responses are both possible and necessary.

We are deeply thankful for your support and trust, and we look forward to continuing this work alongside you in the year ahead. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to talk more about the report, our programs, or opportunities for continued collaboration.

Leadership Transition

Leadership Transition Announcement

Dear Friends of Lake City Partners,

I have accepted a new role with the King County Regional Homelessness Authority. It has been an honor to serve as Executive Director of Lake City Partners, and I am incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together. We have a great leadership team guiding the transition to ensure a smooth handoff and continued momentum in our work.

Client Services Director, Thomas Burnside, will serve as Interim Executive Director as the Board considers the organization’s next chapter of leadership. With over a decade of experience in community behavioral health across King and Snohomish Counties — two of those years with LCP — Thomas has seen firsthand the complex challenges individuals face when navigating housing instability, mental health needs, and systemic barriers.

The Board and I are both confident in Thomas’s leadership and vision as we continue to grow and serve our community.

As always, I am happy to answer any questions and would welcome them.

Warmly Yours,

William Towey

Executive Director

Q3 Data Report

We enjoy sharing our quarterly data reports to keep us accountable and to share our successes. Our Q3 Report highlights the ongoing impact of our systems change work in our Shelter Services that continues to ensure the demographics of our Aurora Oaks shelter is closely aligned with demographics of the recent Point-in-Time count.

Our quarterly reports provide a range of useful quantitative data and qualitative context that offers a year to date view of our work.

For example, the data on Permanent Supportive Housing outcomes highlights the importance of engaging with the Coordinated Entry system with a high degree of capability and fidelity, with 100s of our clients currently active in that system through our  Outreach/HAP, Day Center, and Shelter programs.

The data is shared as text and charts that are part of a much broader range of data we collect. If you’re interested in learning more about our data, and how it informs our work, please contact us.

Announcing the Return of a Seasonal Winter Shelter

Lake City Partners is thrilled to announce a return to our roots with a seasonal Winter Shelter! Opening mid-November and closely integrated with our GLA Day Center, the shelter will be open seven nights a week with the ability for clients to sign up in advance to reserve a place to sleep.

LCP got its start as a winter shelter that rotated between local churches, and we are incredibly excited to be partnering with our faith communities again. Stay tuned for more information and opportunities.

Funding for this much-needed shelter is thanks to the City of Seattle Government and former City Council Member Cathy Moore for Seattle, who included a proviso for a seasonal winter shelter for District 5, and King County Regional Homelessness Authority who will be administering the funds.

We are tremendously grateful as always to all our public and private partners that enable us to move people from tent to front door. Our work exists because of you!
