Квалификация

Important Resources

Find a Shelter

If you or someone you love is in immediate need of a shelter, visit Shelter Me Spokane, a site updated with the current status of local shelters.

Survivors of intimate partner violence who are actively fleeing an abusive relationship can call YWCA Spokane's 24hr helpline at 509-326-2255. 

Housing Resources

To help manage housing and shelter needs, the City has created a coordinated entry to services.

Income Limits

To qualify for financial assistance, households must have 80% or less of area median income (AMI).

AMI is the midpoint income for the local area. It is determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and means that half of the people earn more than the median, and half of the people earn less.
