Mission
PROVIDING SHELTER, HOUSING, FOOD, AND CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO MEN EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS ON THE EAST SIDE OF KING COUNTY, WA.
Program accomplishments
- SHELTER: PORCHLIGHT'S 24/7 EMERGENCY MEN'S SHELTER OFFERS A SAFE, WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR FOR MEN EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. AS THE ONLY DEDICATED SHELTER FOR MEN IN EAST KING COUNTY, THE EMS PROVIDES CRITICAL SERVICES AND RESOURCES TO HELP INDIVIDUALS REBUILD THEIR LIVES AND SECURE STABLE INCOME AND HOUSING. EACH DAY, THE EMS SERVES OVER 100 MEN, UP TO 125 DURING SEVERE WEATHER, AND MORE THAN 340 MEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. MEN SERVED BY PORCHLIGHT FACE DEEPLY INTERSECTING BARRIERS: A SEVERE LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, RISING RENTS, LIMITED ACCESS TO TIMELY MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION TREATMENT, AND SYSTEMIC RACIAL AND ECONOMIC DISPARITIES. MANY OF THESE MEN WORK FULL-TIME JOBS, YET STILL CANNOT AFFORD HOUSING IN OUR COMMUNITY. WITHOUT A SAFE, SUPPORTIVE PLACE TO REST AND ACCESS RESOURCES, THE DAILY STRUGGLE FOR STABILITY CAN FEEL INSURMOUNTABLE. AT PORCHLIGHT, WE BELIEVE THAT SHELTER IS MORE THAN A BED. IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESTORE DIGNITY AND PROVIDE NEEDED TOOLS TO BUILD A MORE STABLE FUTURE. PORCHLIGHT HOTEL PROGRAM WAS AN EXTENSION OF THE EMS; ITS GOAL WAS TO PROVIDE A HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT FOR THE MOST MEDICALLY FRAGILE MEN WHO SEEK SHELTER WITH US. IT CAME ONLINE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND CONTINUED UNTIL THE END OF 2024. PORCHLIGHT RENTED ROOMS WITHIN AN EASTGATE AREA HOTEL, WHICH SERVED UP TO 20 MEN AT A TIME. MEN STAYING WITH US ALSO MUST FOLLOW SPECIFIC BEHAVIORAL REQUIREMENTS THAT KEPT THE HOTEL OWNER SATISFIED WITH OUR PROGRAM. CLIENTS IN THE HOTEL WERE PROVIDED MEALS AND HAD ACCESS TO ALL OF OUR SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, INCLUDING HOUSING NAVIGATION AND CASE MANAGEMENT. PORCHLIGHT'S ROTATING SHELTER (RS) IS A UNIQUE, RECOVERY-INFORMED OVERNIGHT SHELTER THAT SERVES UP TO 25 ADULT MEN EACH NIGHT WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN EAST KING COUNTY. AS A SAFE, RESPECTFUL ENVIRONMENT, RS IS A MEDIUM BARRIER BEHAVIOR-BASED PROGRAM AND SHELTERS CLIENTS WHO ARE HOUSING FOCUSED. IT IS OUR FOUNDATIONAL PROGRAM AS IT IS THE ORIGINAL PROGRAM AT PORCHLIGHT WHEN WE STARTED IN 1993 (THEN CALLED CONGREGATIONS FOR THE HOMELESS). OPERATING FROM 6:00 P.M. TO 7:30 A.M., THE RS OFFERS MORE THAN A SAFE PLACE TO SLEEP-IT PROVIDES A SUPPORTIVE, SOBER COMMUNITY WHERE MEN CAN ACCESS CASE MANAGEMENT, MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION SERVICES, AND THE STABILITY NEEDED TO WORK TOWARD PERMANENT HOUSING. AS THE ONLY RECOVERY-FOCUSED SHELTER OF ITS KIND IN THE REGION, THE RS PROVIDES A TRUSTED, CLEAN, AND SOBER ENVIRONMENT WHERE GUESTS ARE TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND SUPPORTED THROUGH BOTH PROGRESS AND SETBACKS. PORCHLIGHT'S OUTREACH PROGRAM PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN ENGAGING WITH MEN EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS THROUGHOUT EAST KING COUNTY. FOR MANY OF OUR SHELTER GUESTS, OUTREACH IS THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT AND THE INTRODUCTION TO PORCHLIGHT. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CITY STAFF, POLICE, EMERGENCY SERVICES, AND OTHER COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, OUR OUTREACH COORDINATOR PROACTIVELY VISITS PUBLIC SPACES - PARKS, LIBRARIES, GREENBELTS, BUS STOPS, AND MORE-TO MEET MEN WHERE THEY ARE, BUILD TRUST, AND SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT AVAILABLE RESOURCES. ADDITIONALLY, OUR OUTREACH COORDINATOR IS THE FACE OF OUR I & R SERVICES (INFORMATION AND REFERRAL) - BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN PEOPLE IN NEED AND THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM IN EAST KING COUNTY.Expenses $3,964,539 · grants $624,562
- 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.Expenses $1,427,304 · grants $64,286 · revenue $68,864
- 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.Expenses $1,154,784
