			ABOUT US Mission Statement Housing at the Crossroads meets the urgent needs of homeless families on the Eastside by providing stable, affordable, transitional housing and support services, thereby helping families work toward self-sufficiency. Purpose Housing at the Crossroads strives to help homeless families accomplish the following:
			•	Break the generational chain of homelessness and poverty through early intervention and case management
			•	Secure jobs through education and training programs that provide adequate income to afford market rate housing
			•	Acquire budgeting, parenting and other life skills that increase the chance of success
			•	Provide a stable living environment for children and enable them to maintain regular school attendance

			History East King County contains some of the most affluent suburban communities in the greater Seattle area. However, the number of homeless families has been on the rise in the area despite the apparent prosperity. In response, a group of parishioners from Saint Louise Catholic Church formed Housing at the Crossroads in 1989. The program called for providing both transitional housing and case management services for up to two years for homeless families with children. First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue became a partner in the project a year later. Since 1990, Housing at the Crossroads has provided over 90,000 bed nights to over 45 families and over 13,000 hours of case management.

Housing at the Crossroad is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization registered in the State of Washington.
