HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT:

With permanent supportive housing for individuals and families who are Veterans, the Compass Veterans Center in Renton offers a variety of veteran-specific services.

The program is open to veteran individuals and families who have experienced homelessness, and those earning between zero to 60 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).
