“A Place of Our Own” transitional housing program at the Abused Deaf Women’s Advocacy Services (ADWAS) currently has vacancies coming up for Deaf women who are fleeing from or recovering from domestic violence. This brand-new apartment building is located in a lovely residential neighborhood north of the University of Washington in Seattle.
This building features fully furnished apartments for very low income families. All units are subsidized by project-based Section 8 through the Seattle Housing Authority. Qualified applicants will meet an income limit and must have one or more children. Each family can stay here up to two full years.
“A Place of Our Own” is a unique building with built-in accommodations for Deaf and Deaf-Blind residents plus a full range of on-site services: advocacy, parenting classes, child care, counseling and much more. Most of the ADWAS staff are Deaf and all are fluent in ASL.
Applying is easy! If you or someone you know wishes to apply to this program, please contact carrielou@adwas.org for an application packet. We will work with each family to arrange transportation to Seattle.
