Programs
Hopelink offers an integrated array of programs that enable families in crisis to make progress toward and achieve self-sufficiency.
Food
Hopelink's six centers each offer several food banks a week, plus
deliveries to elderly and disabled individuals who are homebound.
Related programs include education and seasonal activities. Hopelink also offers an Emergency Feeding Service, which delivers bags of food to schools, religious institutions, and community centers to provide to families in need.
Housing
Eviction prevention support can help families avoid homelessness. Our Emergency Family Shelter provides a temporary home base for homeless families. Hopelink Transitional Housing offers up to two years of housing and ongoing case-management support. The First Month's Rent program helps families get started in more permanent homes.

Family Development
The Family Development Program works with families at risk of homelessness, to help the family stay in their home and move from crisis to self-sufficiency. Family Development Specialists work one-on-one with the family, helping them assess their strengths, connect with community resources, and set and meet goals.

Adult Education
Hopelink's Adult Education Department is committed to providing a diverse selection of educational services to clients which meet their needs, build self-sufficiency and a habit of lifelong learning. The two programs address literacy and lifelong learning.

Transportation and Interpreter Services
Access to services can make the difference between being homebound and isolated, or healthy and active. Hopelink’s Transportation and Interpreter Services Brokerage provides an essential link to the community for King County residents on Medicaid assistance, and to low income families and children. Our drivers and dispatchers also provide all of the Metro DART service in King County.

Emergency Financial Assistance
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Puget Sound Home Energy Lifeline Program (PSE HELP) assist with the high cost of heating and energy bills. In addition, we can often help with rent and other emergency needs that "fall through the cracks" of other available assistance.
