KentHOPE Shelter

Helping the lost become found in Kent

KentHOPE is a ministry of Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission, bringing together local non-profits, volunteers, neighbors, businesses, and churches in a community approach to reducing homelessness in Kent. By providing women and their children with emergency meals, shelter, and support services, KentHOPE provides a stable pathway out of homelessness.

Please, give generously today to help homeless women and their children find lasting hope and a new life.

KentHOPE Day Center

Our Day Center hosts women – with or without children – to meet their immediate needs. The Day Center is on the front lines of homelessness in Kent, and the first point of interaction for guests walking in off the streets. We welcome women into a warm, safe, loving environment, and support guests by building relationships and providing services including:

  • Direct intake into shelter services
  • Clothing, shoes, and hygiene items
  • Meals and snacks
  • Case management to address barriers that lead to homelessness
  • Referral and resource assistance
  • Housing application and job readiness assistance
  • Mail service, bus tickets, phone and computer access
  • Bible studies, devotions, and weekly classes
  • Access to medical and mental health providers

KentHOPE Program

The Link Program offered at KentHOPE is a clean and sober residential program designed to help women seek and maintain employment or education. While in the program, they are able to save funds for stable housing, receive Christian discipleship, case management, life skills, and more.
