The Need

In Pierce County, on any given day, 4,300 of our neighbors are unhoused in a community where 1,300 emergency beds are available.

The greatest risk in finding permanent housing is the time it takes to find it and afford it, and many unhoused simply run out of time in shelters. Temporary housing can answer this short fall. Retreat Home offers temporary housing, in the homes of volunteers, near the end of the search and wait process for permanent housing, allowing the family shelter, time, safety and support.
