What you can do

Ending homelessness is not a mystery. Experience proves that placing adults experiencing homelessness in housing supported by trained staff, with a complement of health care, chemical dependency treatment and mental health services keeps even those most vulnerable adults living with disabilities safely housed.

We also know that the type of programs offered by DESC actually cost less than allowing people to remain homeless. The result is fewer tax dollars spent. Everyone benefits!

But how can you help? Here are some ways to support Housing First:

• Donate
• Volunteer
• Attend an event
• Advocate
• Come to work at DESC!

If you have questions about making a donation or would like to speak to someone about making one, please contact Shannon Wong at (206) 464-1570, est. 3448.
