Crisis Intervention
Nest Mission helps the homeless community in cases when they run out of gas for work and for living in a car, are badly sick or injured, have been discharged to the street after an emergency hospital visit or surgery, go to a job interview, treatments for drug addiction or PTSD, etc. In such cases, we provide some help according to their needs. Since the pandemic, we have more actively responded to their needs. As of Dec. 31, 2023, we have supported 310 cases spending $15,383.
In Tacoma/Lakewood/Federal Way area if you have any crisis like above, please contact pastor Kyung H. Lee @ 253-732-3929. In Lynnwood/Edmonds/Everett area, please come to the Nest Mission center (with Advocates Recovery Services) located at 16404 HWY 99, Lynnwood, WA or contact pastor Doug Jung @ 206-255-0676.
Emergency Motel Stay
For the homeless who are sick, injured, or discharged from the hospital to the street, we provide their basic needs, such as food, gas, clothes, medicine, transportation, etc. In addition to that, we also give them a motel stay for their recuperation. Sometimes, we respond to the requests of local agencies such as South Snohomish County Cold Weather Shelter, Neighbors in Need, Verdant Health Commission, JKF Hygiene Center, Hope Foundation/Esther's Place, and Advocates Recovery Services. Nest Mission has helped 470 cases of people and families stay at motels for 1,788 nights ($95,603) as of 12/31/23. Anyone who wants a motel voucher must have a medical document from the hospital or doctor. A half percentage of people who stayed at the motel through our program have been related to substance use disorder(SUD). For someone who needs long-term care, we arrange for her or him to stay at the recovery housing with the cooperation of Advocates Recovery Services.
