Uniting in service to families, with children, experiencing homelessness.

About Us

The Interfaith Family Shelter operates 5 emergency shelter programs to help families with children in Snohomish County overcome homelessness and achieve permanent housing:

1. The Family Shelter (Everett, WA) - accommodates 11 families

2. Scattered site shelters: Miracle House (Marysville, WA) - accommodates 2 families; Hospitality House (Everett, WA) - accommodates 3 families

3. Madison Family Shelter (Everett, WA) - tiny-home community, accommodates 8 families

4. Cars-to-Housing - safe-parking-and-rehousing program for families living in their vehicles, accomodates 5 families

What sets us apart:

• We provide families with up to 90 days of shelter, and the resources to rebuild their lives.
• We accept single dads and families with teenage sons (not accepted at many other shelters) - this keeps families together!
• We operate 43% of all family shelter units in Snohomish County! 

We have among the highest success rates in Snohomish County: 72% of families achieve permanent housing after our 90-day program ...and 80% of them are still housed one year later.

Laundry upgrades at our shelter

Our families desperately need better laundry equipment at the Family Shelter. 

With approx. 44 families using this facility every year, that's a lot of laundry, washing & drying! We need to upgrade from residential gadgets to commercial equipment.

Give today and help us raise $5,000 towards this need!

EVERY gift makes a difference.
