The Walla Walla Alliance for the Homeless has worked since its inception in July 2015 to meet the needs of the Walla Walla homeless population. The alliance manages the Walla Walla Sleep Center, a low-barrier shelter that offers showers, food, and peer support to help individuals navigate a path out of homelessness.
Northwest Public Radio aired a segment on March 12 about the WWAH, "How one Washington county is making progress on homelessness." It is available on the Northwest Public Broadcasting website at bit.ly/3Fs2h4r.
The alliance collaborates with many local groups, including Blue Mountain Action Council, Catholic Charities and The Loft-Walla Walla, Blue Mountain Community Foundation, Blue Mountain Humane Society, Blue Mountain Heart to Heart, Hope Street, Hope Heals-Walla Walla, SonBridge, Walla Walla Emergency Warming Center, Walla Walla Fire Department, YWCA Walla Walla, Walla Walla County Emergency Management, and Providence St. Mary Medical Center.
