OUR MISSION
Simpson Housing Services’ mission is to house, support, and advocate for people experiencing homelessness. We believe everybody has the right to safe affordable housing and we celebrate and embrace the uniqueness and dignity of each person.
KEY SERVICES PROVIDED
Simpson Housing Services began as an emergency overnight shelter in the basement of Simpson United Method- ist Church in 1982. We help thousands of people find the housing and support they need in a time of personal crisis. Our programs include emergency overnight shelter for men and women, stable and supportive housing for individuals and families, and specialized programming for children and youth, designed to break the generational cycle of poverty and homelessness. We work across the metro area, partnering with landlords and developers to find affordable housing for all families and individuals. Last year we placed 1,111 people into housing. We invite you to be part of the solution to end homelessness in our community by joining our efforts.
