Below is a list of services we provide throughout the year, as well as some special holiday information. Unfortunately, we do not have any emergency housing available locally. The closest shelters are Federal Way and Tacoma. The other misprint on the 211 website is that we provide motel vouchers, which we do not. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you believe we can help a family! I did provide flyers to Anne Chambers to share with school counselors. There is also more information on our website: www.plateauoutreach.org.
