TOGETHER!'s Host Homes Program
TOGETHER! is a nonprofit organization that has been serving youth in Thurston County since 1989 and recently launched a Host Homes program in 2022. It is the first of its kind in Thurston County and is a community-based housing solution to meet the needs of unaccompanied or houseless youth. They train and match volunteer host families in Thurston County with unaccompanied high school students (13-21 years old) who are enrolled in the North Thurston or Tumwater School Districts.
Their program is growing and they need your help! Whether you consider hosting or share the information with your network of people. Please help them get the word out so that more students who are currently couch surfing, living in their cars, or camping can be housed. Studies show a significant drop in homelessness among adult if they are housed as minors. This is a tangible way we can help meet the needs of our community and make a difference together. Please reach out to them by phone 360-280-3286 or email to learn more.
