A Way Home Washington is a nonprofit that believes it is possible to end youth and young adult homelessness in Washington state. We believe that you cannot end youth homelessness without also ending the disproportionality that makes Black, Indigenous, and other youth of color as well as 2SIALGBTQ+ youth experience homelessness more often than their white, straight, cis peers do. We use quality, real-time data to drive change.
Our organization is committed to uprooting white supremacy in all practices and creating a culture of safety for employees of marginalized identities to live in full expression of themselves and, when necessary, to raise concerns or challenge leadership or org culture without fear. Executive leadership is POC as well as many managers and directors on staff. Focus of the work itself is on anti-racism and protecting queer identities. The org is committed to continually learning and improving itself.
