First Place Housing Program

Safe and secure housing for families with children.

Housing is key to what we do

First Place Housing provides much-needed safe and secure housing for the least advantaged families with children. The homelessness factors for the Seattle area place a growing number of families into the reality or risk of being homeless. First Place has made housing families a key element of what we do for children and the adults who care for them.

Imani Village is a 16-unit townhome community that provides permanent subsidized housing with case management. This housing community is next to First Place’s Education and Operations Building in Seattle’s Central District. We also manage and bring case management to families living in the Nhon’s Place apartments, which house low-income families. We provide transitional housing to families at the most significant risk of homelessness, those who need to bring structure to their lives and create a stable living situation for themselves and their children.

Like many families who live with housing instability, the vulnerable children and parents we serve need to stay out of unsafe environments. We provide them with a living environment that is supportive and gives the family stable living. Our housing is in a changing community with increased rents.

Our fundraising allows us to subsidize rents and provide family case management with the expectation that the families will become stable and fix the issues that stand in the way of stable, safe, and secure housing, allowing their children to grow up in a neighborhood where they can thrive.
