Shared Housing Hall of Fame
A mortgage broker at sixty-five. A retired veteran. Two women in Georgia who saw a one-minute Facebook video. Every person on this page came to us wondering whether they could do this — and then opened a home.
Every foundation below is owned and run by someone who trained with us. Awards are given each year at the Seattle Symposium.
Stockbridge & Lawrenceville, Georgia
They saw a one-minute video of Frank and Sherri on Facebook and it changed their future plans. They completed the program and launched their own foundation — now running two homes for women aged 21 to 80.
Wichita, Kansas
Homes in calm neighborhoods with a washer and dryer, an attached garage, and every utility included. Her line: safety is a human need, and recovery becomes possible when a person knows they’re safe.
Gilbert, Arizona
A compassionate, protective haven built for growth — where residents rebuild their lives, rediscover hope, and find some peace.
Carolina Beach, North Carolina
They live the Aloha spirit. Clean, safe, affordable homes in good neighborhoods, so a resident’s focus can be on their goals instead of on where they’ll sleep.
Everett, Washington
Transitional housing for veterans in Snohomish County, built to WAQRR and NARR standards. Honor, integrity, support, encouragement.
Palm Bay, Florida
Beautiful homes in great neighborhoods, run on a good neighbor policy where everyone pitches in. Transitional housing that moves people toward self-sufficiency.
Temecula, California
Two homes — Potestas House and Harwood House — for young adult moms, veterans, and anyone needing quality shared housing. Tiffany has spent more than twenty years serving youth and families.
Orlando, Florida
Two homes — The Butterfly House and Grandma’s Cottage — both FARR-certified Level II. LGBTQ+ friendly and trans-affirming.
Olympia, Washington
Housing for veterans, adults aging out of foster care, and people in recovery — built on self-respect, a fresh start, and accountability.
Yakima, Washington
Residents from all walks of life and every age, in family-centered neighborhoods. Hope, healing, home. Sherry also teaches the codes and ordinances lesson inside our program.
Norfolk, Virginia
A recovery residence started by a disabled US Navy veteran and his wife, for people navigating re-entry after service or after a sentence.
Tacoma, Washington
Billy’s Blue House — a five-bedroom home with western sunsets and partial views of the Sound, named for William “Billy” Arthur Beadle. WAQRR Level II, a walk from the bus stop and Tacoma Community College.
Port Orchard, Washington
Shared and private rooms with every utility paid, fresh bedding, and a live-in peer support manager. Her name for it says the rest: a culture of extending the olive branch to people facing housing insecurity.
Veteran, retired · In memory
Donna invested in Kate’s Yellow House — our home for veterans, on the light rail near the Seattle VA and built to be accessible. A veteran herself, she helped make a home for veterans real. Her Hall of Fame place is honorary, and permanent.
Nobody at 18 knows where you’re going to go. Our oldest student is almost 90. — Sherri
