Solid Ground WA

We need your support more than ever to close a growing funding gap and continue serving over 65,000 neighbors across Washington.

Every gift helps keep food on the table and families in their homes. 

Families like Heaven’s and Lashaye’s – two neighbors rebuilding their lives at our Sand Point Housing campus. 

Every morning, Heaven’s three-year-old son, Sai’chaun, runs to the window to check if Lashaye’s kids – Bobby, 4, and Laila, 3 – are outside yet. The moment he sees them, the day begins. Tricycles whirl across the playground just feet from their shared front porch. Laughter fills the air. 

“Our kids are inseparable,” says Heaven. “There’s nothing we don’t do together,” adds Lashaye. 

Behind Heaven and Lashaye’s friendship lies a bond forged through shared struggle and strength. Lashaye, a domestic violence survivor, once lived in her car with her son while pregnant. Heaven, grieving two family deaths, moved in with her mom at Sand Point last spring. When Lashaye had a seizure, Heaven – familiar with epilepsy from caring for her sister – rushed to help. 

That moment knit a strong friendship between the two moms, held tight by care and trust.  

“I don’t have anyone else walking me through this,” Heaven says. “If I need to take a breath, here comes [Lashaye] to help.” 

At Sand Point, nearly 200 people are rebuilding after homelessness. With help from Solid Ground, they find more than housing – they find healing and connection. By continuing your support for Solid Ground, you help keep this community strong by providing: 

• Safe, stable housing with caring case managers by each resident’s side.
• Reliable access to nutritious food plus simple cooking classes that stretch every dollar.
• Youth development programs connecting kids to skills, mentors, and opportunities to help break the cycle of poverty for good.
• Strong advocacy fighting for fair policies that uplift low-income communities across Washington state and address the root causes of poverty.
