Organizations Filed Purposes:
Our mission is to provide homeless people in Walla Walla access to safe shelter, basic necessities, and the resources needed to transition to stable housing and self-reliance.
Walla Walla Sleep Center - Low Barrier Sleep Center: In collaboration with the City of Walla Walla, the Alliance offers a low-barrier Sleep Center for adults experiencing homelessness. The Sleep Center consists of 37 hard-sided shelters for individuals or couples, an overflow room for single men, indoor toilets and showers, caseworker and staff offices, and a climate-controlled gathering room for meetings and where meals donated by the community are served. During 2020 the Sleep Center provided 14,454 nights of safe sleep to 218 unique individuals. Our Sleep Center staff consisted on four full-time and two part-time employees and 9,211 hours of volunteer time. In 2020, we responded to the Covid-19 pandemic by expanding sleep center operations from nights only to 24 hours daily, seven days/week. To accommodate this change, we added additional paid staff, volunteers, and provided means.
Exit Homelessness Program: The Exit Homelessness program includes on-site case management and peer support, coordination of services with local social-service organizations, life skills classes, and other services that lead to self-reliance and stable housing. We continue to see great success through our efforts. We have high levels of engagement from residents in camp and we continue to offer supportive services to those housed. Through 2020, 48 people have moved to permanent housing.
Basic Necessities: There are many things that most of us take for granted that are simply not available to those who are homeless. The Alliance worked to provide many of those during 2019: Toiletries: For residents at the Sleep Center, we provide soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, hygiene products, sunscreen, aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, first aid supplies, and like items free of charge. Showers: We provide showers for residents through a resident-assisted job training program throughout the week. This allows our residents to engage with the community they are living in and allows for skills development at the same time. An address: If you are homeless, how can you receive mail or manage official communication or even fill out the most basic application forms when you don't have an address? This is an issue faced daily by those experiencing homelessness. The Walla Walla Alliance for the Homeless is pleased to provide 32 mailboxes free of charge for homeless Walla Walla citizens.
