Need Help?

Vision House provides a temporary supportive housing program in Renton and Shoreline, Washington for families with children experiencing homelessness. Vision House also has three Diversion Centers in Renton, Burien and Shoreline to assist families with their immediate needs to help keep them from entering the shelter system.

We serve single mothers, single fathers and two parent families.

Vision House is not accepting new applications for services at this time. Families can access help by calling the King County Emergency Family Shelter Intake Line at 206-245-1026.
