The Sitka Homeless Coalition strives to provide warm, safe shelter to those in need.
About
The Sitka Homeless Coalition was started in 2017 by a small group of volunteers. It has since blossomed into an emerging and growing non-profit. Following Housing First principles, the Sitka Homeless Coalition strives to build community for all Sitkans experiencing homelessness. We provide programs that meet the immediate needs of our clients, such as a showers and laundry program and a dinner program. We also provide connections for clients to resources and services that will help them obtain or maintain their housing. SHC also operates the only emergency overnight shelter in Sitka during the winter season. Most notably, the Sitka Homeless Coalition is responding to the need of housing and shelter in Stika through Hitx'i Saani, a 12-unit housing community with residential units and a community center for service provision. The Sitka Homeless Coalition seeks to make sustainable, powerful, and dignifying change for those experiencing homelessness and for the whole of our community.
How Pick.Click.Give. makes a difference
The Hítx'i Sáani (Lingít for "Little House") Community consists of 12 permanent supportive housing units, a caretaker unit, and a community center (expected completion by the end of 2026) that will double as a service provision building and an emergency shelter for those still experiencing homelessness. We hope to provide a space and opportunity for adults experiencing chronic homelessness to receive not only shelter, but the services that can help to change their lives: behavioral health counseling, primary care services, substance abuse support groups, recreational healing opportunities, a sense of community, and a place of belonging and dignity.With your support, we will be able to offer supportive services and programs to our Hitx'i Saani clients as well as anyone in the community experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity. All funds help us keep Sitkans housed and safe!
Thank you in advance for your support in our mission to provide warm, safe, life-changing shelter to the most vulnerable in our community.
