Our community in action
Chapter 1 — The Challenge
With homeless numbers in the Seattle area growing faster than New York City and Los Angeles, those of us who are better off economically cannot ignore the large number of our neighbors who are struggling daily.
A community cannot be truly strong until those among us who are struggling are lifted up by those who are able to lift. This is what binds us together.
Our Vision
Humanizing the people experiencing homelessness
Our Mission
Making it easier to help the homeless
Chapter 2 — Our Story
A group of like-minded individuals came together to help hard-working shelters bridge the gap between people who need help and the individuals & businesses who can provide it.
Humanize Homelessness is an all-volunteer, tax-exempt organization based in Bellevue, WA — dedicated to the principle that helping those less fortunate leads to a kinder, more successful society for all of us.
