Catholic Community Services of Western Washington

Rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and the Gospel imperative, Catholic Community Services and Catholic Housing Services are outreaches of the Catholic Church in Western Washington, under the leadership of the Archbishop of Seattle and the Boards of Trustees. CCS and CHS answer the Gospel call to loving and compassionate service with particular concern for the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death and the dignity of the human person. Our employees and volunteers come from many faith traditions to serve and support poor and vulnerable people through the provision of quality, integrated services and housing. Our focus is on those individuals, children, families, and communities struggling with poverty and the effects of intolerance and racism. We actively join with others to work for justice.

For over 100 years, Catholic Community Services and Catholic Housing Services have served the poorest and most vulnerable men, women and children of Western Washington. As the largest private social service provider in the state, our employees and volunteers serve nearly 100,000 homeless, hungry and hurting people each year.

With over 190 programs we offer an array of services including: adoption, pregnancy support, children’s mental health, case management, information and referral, emergency services, shelters, transitional and permanent housing, mental health and chemical dependency and volunteer services.
