ADWAS

About

Supportive Housing is designed to support domestic violence/sexual assault survivors obtain and maintain safe, stable, and temporary (up to 2 years) housing.  Our advocates will work with the families to determine long-term housing arrangements, financial empowerment, maintaining housing stability, legal resources, community resources and provide services with our children’s program.

ADWAS’ A Place of Our Own supportive housing program features 19 individual units of supportive housing for low income families who are homeless. All units are subsidized by project-based Section 8 through the Seattle Housing Authority. Qualified applicants will meet an income limit of 30% median income plus other SHA requirements. In addition, all units are part of the Washington State Housing Finance Commission Tax Credit program.
