The Sophia Way is committed to supporting single adult women in King County experiencing homelessness move into housing. The organization began in 2008 in response to a critical need – no shelter existed then for adult women on the Eastside, and many women needed a place of safety until they could find a home. Since we opened our doors, more than 3,000 women have sought shelter, comfort, and support, and we have been able to help many of them move into their own home.

We provide women experiencing homelessness basic and essential needs, and supportive case management and housing services.

Our work is guided by the Housing First approach, an evidence-based practice that is increasingly being embraced by homeless providers across the nation. The approach views housing as the foundation for life improvement and enables access to permanent housing without prerequisites or conditions beyond those of a typical renter.
