Organization Overview
PorchLight (formerly Congregations for the Homeless) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 1993 by a small but mighty group of community members to provide a warm, safe, and hospitable place for single men to sleep and be nourished body and soul throughout King County’s Eastside. Today, we are a healthy, fiscally stable organization with a dedicated Board and staff poised to advance our mission: partnering with men & the community to create a path from homelessness to stable living. Our core values are relationship, dignity & respect, community and empowerment. These values embody how we work with the men, community and each other. With phenomenal partnerships and community support, PorchLight serves approximately 2,000 men each year with shelter, permanent subsidized housing, case management and other life-saving supportive services. We are the only Eastside provider of shelter for adult men experiencing homelessness.
