THE PROBLEM
Federal Way has inadequate services for homeless people, especially during the day.
No showers and laundry facilities are available on a predictable, consistent basis.
Homeless lack an address and access to a computer to aid in job search & applications.
There is no source of all up-to-date listings of resources within the area for food, shelter, clothing, counseling, etc. Each organization lists only those relating to the services they offer.
GOALS OF THE DAY CENTER
* To provide social and emotional support. * To enable confidence in those served to move toward self-sufficiency.
* To meet basic human needs of cleanliness.
* To provide the homeless with a mailing address, which is a step toward independence and aids in lessening the negative impact of homelessness.
* To minimize the impact of the homeless using the library, shopping malls and hospital emergency rooms.
