The mission of The Sophia Way is to help end homelessness in East King County, Washington, by providing supportive services, overnight shelter, and one-bedroom apartments to women as they transition from homelessness to permanent housing and an independent, stable life. Currently, we are the only staffed overnight shelter for single adult women on the Eastside.

Good News!

Thanks to a recent award from King County and the United Way, we will be able to provide housing and case management for 12 women for the next five years!

We received a 2010 Leah C. McCollough Legacy Fund grant from the Women's Funding Alliance to honor Leah McCollough, who contributed so much to nonprofits in the region.
