North Seattle/King County Community Partners,

Thank you for your partnership and support in providing referrals. Our programs open for referrals as space availability opens up on a rolling basis. To be notified of a referral opening and other referral partner information, please add your email to our referral partner email list. Also, our GLA Day Center is open M-F for drop-in support to access referrals and other support services. 

Heron Haven Kenmore Senior Women’s Shelter

Our Senior Women’s Shelter is now accepting referrals. A specialized shelter program serving retirement-age (or close to retirement age) women who are seeking shared housing solutions. Target shelter census is 28 women. Please review the program prior to referring.

Aurora Oaks Enhanced Shelter

Not Accepting Referrals at this time.

The Aurora Oaks Enhanced Shelter serves adults only and operates at 100% of capacity (60 people & 3 to 6 month length of stay). We maintain a [30+] active-referral pool with new intakes estimated to be [1-10] weeks from referral submission. During referral review we prioritize service match appropriateness with our scope of work focused on folks who are unsheltered, chronically homeless, and vulnerable located in North Seattle/King County. We focus on placing folks into permanent supportive housing (see our Quarterly Reports).

As current participants exit Aurora Oaks we work quickly to get the next person coming in and will often reach out to the referrer as part of that process. The number of new participants who enter each month varies — most often in the 5 to 10 range.
