Community Voice Mail gives homeless and phoneless people a tool to help find jobs and housing. Broadview Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing Program Broadview provides emergency shelter for up to 6 weeks and transitional housing for 6-12 months to single women and women with children at a secure, confidential location. Addictions recovery service and health care are available through service providers on site. Broadview is available to single women, women with children, pregnant or parenting teens, women and children who are victims of domestic violence, women with mobility disabilities, and women whose first language is not English. Short term shelter is provided through vouchers to some Seattle motels.
Extended shelter is provided through apartment units in Fremont and in Magnolia.
Family Shelter serves single parent and two parent families. It can accommodate families with large numbers of children, including older teens. This program provides housing counseling, resource referrals, personal hygiene supplies, family support and, in conjunction with FamilyWorks, offers a program of children's activities and parenting workshops. Families are provided with emergency resources, resource referrals, children's services, domestic violence counseling, food resources and assistance in locating permanent housing. The difference between housing stability and homelessness can often revolve around how much we know about our leases or mortgage documents, and how well we can advocate for ourselves in negotiating with landlords and lenders.
