About Whidbey Homeless Coalition

The homeless are people. They are like you and me. They are someone’s mother, father, sister, brother, daughter, or son. They have dignity. If they are part of the 7.5% with mental health issues, they need medication, counseling services, or both. If they are part of the 7.8% with severe addiction issues they need counseling and rehabilitation services. If they are part of the 8.5% who are victims of domestic violence, they need safety and shelter. If they are part of the other 76.2% of homeless people, they just need shelter from the weather, maybe a meal, and likely a warm bed. Some are just kids. Seventeen percent of the homeless are under eighteen years of age, 4.7% are unaccompanied minors. There is no reason anyone should be homeless in a community of abundance, especially kids. All of them need to see a way out of the situation they are in. Thousands of families, though, are just one paycheck, one hospital visit, or one greedy landlord turning their house into a B&B away from being homeless. The Whidbey Homeless Coalition is here to help these people find a way into a stable and clean living space.
