Congregations For The Homeless

Housing: porchlight's housing program offers 91 units of permanent housing with supports for single adult men (18 years and older) transitioning from homelessness to stability and independence. Supported by in-house, comprehensive wraparound services, our housing program empowers men to overcome long-standing barriers and rebuild their lives in community. In 2024, 98% of participants either remained stably housed for two years or more or successfully transitioned to other permanent housing, reflecting one of the strongest success rates in the region.

Program support: porchlight's behavioral health program provides same-day, on-site behavioral health and substance use services to men in our emergency men's shelter (ems), rotating shelter, and permanent supportive housing programs. The behavioral health team uses a multi-disciplinary model which provides closely coordinated employment support and housing navigation, social work, nursing, nurse practitioner, and substance use care. Porchlight's case management services provide personalized, strengths-based support to men navigating the complex path out of homelessness. Available to all participants across our programs, case management is central to helping individuals stabilize, build trust, and move toward long-term housing, health, and well-being. Porchlight's housing navigation program provides targeted, housing-focused case management and move-in assistance for adult men experiencing homelessness in east king county. Our goal is to break down barriers and help each man take clear, supported steps toward stable, permanent housing. Porchlight's employment services, for many of the men we serve, homelessness is closely linked to unemployment or underemployment. Without stable income, securing and maintaining housing on the eastside can feel impossible. Job hunting while living in a shelter-or without shelter at all-brings added challenges, especially for those without access to technology, job-search skills, or employer connections. While some guests are already employed and use the shelter as a temporary bridge while saving for housing, others need more hands-on support to navigate job readiness and placement. Porchlight's employment support services meet this need with personalized, one-on-one guidance.
