The Whidbey Homeless Coalition is a non-profit (501c3) started by concerned neighbors including those who are or have experienced homelessness, local activists and advocates, community-based and faith-based organizations, and others committed to preventing and abating homelessness on Whidbey Island, while protecting each individual's civil rights and filling their immediate needs. We support our mission through temporary/transitional housing, a low barrier emergency overnight shelter, and by connecting guests with mentors that assist them in overcoming obstacles one might face in seeking permanent housing.We Promise to treat all people with dignity and respect; to hold ending homelessness as our highest priority; to be inclusive, nonjudgmental and open to the ideas and beliefs of others; to operate transparently among ourselves and to the community.
