Program Overview
Our Focus
Lake City Partners has three primary drivers:
- We align with the lived experience of unsheltered people and also the providers who have decades of experience trying to make progress in this space through
- integrated and connected systems
- which are data-driven and community-engaged
The goal at LCP is to match services with the demographics of our clients. We’ve adjusted our practices, systems, and policies such that our service delivery outcomes address and reflect the disproportionate impacts of structural racism and racial inequities in the community we serve. The result is that our client demographics align closely with KCRHA’s recent Point-In-Time demographics.
Aurora Oaks Enhanced Shelter
Shoreline, WA
With a 122% annual housing placement rate in 2024, Aurora Oaks Enhanced Shelter offers individuals a greater level of privacy and dignity than a traditional shelter.

GLA Day Center
Seattle, WA
A place to just be! With nearly 12,000 visits in 2024, the GLA Day Center warmly welcomes between 300 and 400 individuals per month to come in and cook a meal, take a shower, meet with service providers, and relax from the stress of the street. This coffee-shop like setting combines service delivery and community-building that recognizes the dignity of every guest.
Senior Women’s Shelter Kenmore, WA
*New 2025!* For elder women whose retirement plans did not keep pace with cost-of-living increases, the Kenmore Senior Women’s shelter is a specialized program serving homeless, retirement-age women who are seeking shared housing solutions.
Community Outreach Program
Multiple locations, North King County
The feet-on-the-ground component of our Enhanced Client Services, the Community Outreach Program conducts street outreach and responds to city and partner requests to connect with unhoused residents to begin building the relationship (and filling out the paperwork!) that leads from tent to front door.
