Our Mission:

The mission of the Interfaith Association of Northwest Washington is to provide housing and programs that address the needs of homeless and low-income families and increase united action among faith groups.

Our Vision:

The Interfaith Association of Northwest Washington envisions a world in which homelessness no longer exists, diversity in all its forms is embraced, and faith communities unite through action, ensuring that low-income families receive the economic, social, and holistic support they need to thrive.

Our Values:

  • We believe that all people have the right to quality food, housing, education, healthcare, and safe and secure home environments.
  • We value the Interfaith Family Shelter as a place of positive transformation.
  • We know that people of all faiths have the mandate to care for their communities.
  • We believe that diversity is a source of strength within any community and organization.

Although we are faith-based, we do not require any religious affiliation or activity for services. We benefit from volunteers and resources from many faith-based organizations; however we do not proselytize. Instead, our focus is to provide families with the tools necessary to achieve a safe, violence-free, financially stable future.
