Description

Vine Maple Place is a Christian organization that breaks the generational cycle of homelessness by working with single parents and their children. Our approach offers safety, provides stability, and equips to self-sufficiency.

The vision of Vine Maple Place is to end family homelessness in South King County, resulting in healthier communities where every child and parent has a stable home to grow and thrive.

Established 2000: Celebrating 25 Years of Impact

Vine Maple Place was founded in 2000 when nine churches in Maple Valley came together to help homeless single mothers and their children find a safe place to live and recover from homelessness. What began as transitional housing for a few families has grown into a comprehensive program that is serving over 1,400 homeless families in 2024.

In 2012, we launched the Stable Families model—an evidence-based, integrated approach to helping families overcome homelessness. This model has transformed lives, reducing the time families spend in services from 18 months to just 5.5 months, while cutting costs by 79% per family. It helps families who are homeless or just days away from eviction. Most importantly, 91% of families remain housed one year after completing the program.

With the opening of our Family Hope Centers in Maple Valley and Kent, we’ve expanded our reach and increased our capacity to serve more families in crisis. These centers are more than just buildings—they are places of hope, healing, and transformation. Here, parents find the support they need to rebuild their lives, and children discover the stability they need to dream of a brighter future. Every family deserves a safe, stable home, and at Vine Maple Place, we are committed to walking alongside them on their journey to lasting hope.

Recognition
