Frank and Sherri’s vision of safe, affordable housing led to Kate’s House Foundation in Seattle, WA. Our homes were established with the mission that we would serve people who had no housing due to substance use disorder, addictions or mental health issues.
We regularly teach other people who have been touched by these issues how to open a home that is welcoming, compassionate and allows medication for their clients. A list of homes we have helped open nationally can be found on the about page.
We recently asked our students why they wanted to serve others with housing.
Here is a summary of the top 20 motivations.
1. Achieving personal fulfillment and a deep sense of purpose.
