About Mary's Place
Mary's Place is a nonprofit in Seattle & King County helping families experiencing homelessness to get the help they need. Since 1999, Mary’s Place has helped thousands of women and families move out of homelessness into more stable situations. They do this in 3 ways:
-
With three emergency family shelters in King County, we keep families together, inside, and safe when they have no place else to go, providing resources, housing and employment services, community, and hope.
-
Mary’s Place team of mobile outreach specialists work with unsheltered families where they are, bringing supplies and resources to help address barriers. With flexible funding, the team helps families move quickly into stable housing, bypassing a shelter stay.
-
Helping keep families in their homes, preventing homelessness in the first place.
