　　Program Description

　　Bakhita Gardens, located in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle, offers 70 units of permanent supportive housing and 20 units of long-term enhanced shelter to women experiencing homelessness. Bakhita Gardens is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We have one commercial tenant on the ground floor of the building.

　　The shelter and housing programs include:

　　Noel House Enhanced Shelter: 20 semi-private rooms in a congregate setting. Women are welcome to stay for up to one year while they work with a Housing Case Manager to find suitable permanent, affordable housing. These units are filled through referrals from the Women’s Referral Center and by community partners who outreach women living on the streets.

　　Noel House Permanent Housing: 20 semi-private rooms in a congregate setting. Women sign a lease and pay 20% of their income for rent. This housing is designed for women who have been homeless the longest, have difficulty navigating systems, and feel more safe and comfortable living in community. These units are filled through King County’s Coordinated Entry for All (CEA).

　　Rose of Lima Permanent Housing: 50 single room occupancy (SRO) units. Women sign a lease and pay 30% of their income for rent. This housing is designed for formerly homeless women who benefit from living in permanent supportive housing. These units are filled through King County’s Coordinated Entry for All (CEA).

　　Many of the women served in these programs live with mental health issues and substance use disorders; many have histories of trauma. Each resident has varying levels of insight into their disabilities, and many have symptoms that go untreated. As housing first programs with a harm reduction focus, we welcome all women into our housing continuum.

　　The Bakhita Gardens team works from a multi-disciplinary approach in which all staff coordinate services to promote housing stability in an environment that honors and respects the dignity of each resident. We offer compassionate support that emphasizes safety and stability while encouraging sustained growth in independent living skills. We do so in an environment of promise that welcomes diversity and honors each woman's unique experience.
