Homeless Housing Resources

HASCO has several programs that provide both housing and supportive services to assist homeless households on their journey to self sufficiency.  These programs include the Sound Families Project-based Voucher Program, the Shelter Plus Care program, and the HUD-VASH program for homeless veterans.

 

Sound Families Project-based Voucher Program

HASCO’s Sound Families Project-based Voucher Program serves homeless families with children by providing a rental subsidy and supportive services to them.  The YWCA of Seattle – King County – Snohomish County, Catholic Community Services, Housing Hope, and Volunteers of America partner with HASCO to provide supportive services to the households, which include ongoing case management, life skills classes, chemical dependency treatment, mental health services and job training programs.  Once the family successfully completes their service plan, they receive a tenant-based voucher and can move to market-rate housing.

 

Shelter Plus Care Program

The Shelter Plus Care Program is a permanent supportive housing program for homeless households with at least one disabled household member.  Participants receive a housing voucher from HASCO and supportive services from a supportive service provider.  HASCO contracts with the YWCA of Seattle – King County – Snohomish County to administer the program.  For more information or to apply, please contact the YWCA at (425) 258-2766.

 

HUD-VASH Program for Veterans

HASCO is partnering with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Seattle Division to provide HUD-VASH vouchers to homeless veterans in Snohomish County.  HASCO provides the HUD-VASH rental subsidy to the veteran and the VA provides ongoing case management services.  Interested veterans should talk to their VA social worker about the VASH program.  If the veteran does not have a VA social worker, they should call 206-277-6768 and ask for “A consult for referral to VASH.”
