The fastest growing segment of Snohomish County’s homeless population is women and children. Whether fleeing domestic violence, losing a job, substance abuse or other issues, Women and children who are desperate for safe shelter are welcomed at Everett Gospel Mission with open arms.
The Mission currently has bed space for 75 women and children, and we will be opening an additional 25 spaces in July of 2012.
The Women and Children’s Shelter offers much more than safe warm shelter, however. Each person who arrives at our shelter undergoes a detailed intake assessment which helps us evaluate her individual needs.
Based on this evaluation, we develop - with each person - a customized program to help them and their family pursue stability and a future of hope and promise.
Each adult residing at our women and children's shelter is offered intensive one-on-one case management, Bible studies, Life Management classes, and a specialized 12-step recovery group. Our goal is to provide everyone who comes to us with a new set of tools around which to build a transformed life.
