The Homelessness Project

The Homelessness Project (THP), based in Seattle helps homeless families secure and keep permanent, stable housing. The Homelessness Project (THP) started in 1989 with 2 transitional houses.

THP offers 44 units of subsidized housing to single parent homeless families in crisis. As of 2005, THP has served 306 families, including 618 children. 87% of client families leave the program to move into apartments or houses.
