Network Tacoma is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that began in 1990 to help homeless families with children get off the streets, achieve self-sufficiency, and break the cycle of homelessness and poverty. We own and operate 24 units of program-based family housing (eight 2-bedroom apartments for transitional housing, and sixteen 2-bedroom apartments for long-term low-income housing).

The mission of Network Tacoma is to provide a program that addresses the root causes of family homelessness in order to keep the next generation of children off the streets. The typical barriers for families experiencing homelessness are stable employment, transportation, and affordable housing.

In addition, we address other issues, One Family at a Time, through case management and community engagement (e.g. job training, resources, emotional support). After graduating our transitional program, many of our families move into our long-term low-income housing while they continue to progress. This support can help ensure our families remain on a trajectory toward self-sufficiency and long-term stability for generations to come.
