We regret to announce that the Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to cancel our October 30th Gala at the Four Seasons. However, while we must put off the festivities for a year, we still need your support. The Gala & Auction raises funds that fill funding gaps for LIHI’s programs—Tiny House Villages, Urban Rest Stops, Supportive Services. Click to donate online Without Gala and Auction funds, here are the impacts: • Fewer Tiny Houses and Villages to provide shelter to those with none. • Fewer case managers to help our clients find jobs, housing, and services. • Fewer days and hours we have the Urban Rest Stops open.
LIHI’s Tiny House Program is wonderfully effective shelter for pandemic conditions. Unlike traditional shelters, each program participants has a separate space to sleep and live, helping to flatten the curve. We haven’t had a single confirmed case of Covid-19 in our villages! This year we opened our first village in Tacoma and are working to open three more villages before winter starts. Pictured: New enrollees of Interbay Village
LIHI Supportive Services programs provide our program participants with case management that helps them secure education, employment, permanent housing, and other crucial services. Pictured: We hired a full-time teacher to set up a learning pod to help our students not fall behind at Meadowbrook Apartments in Seattle. Remote learning is difficult for many low-income families.
Our three Urban Rest Stops are operating at full capacity during Covid-19 while other facilities have closed around the city. We provide hot showers, bathrooms, laundry, and services that can make the difference between health and sickness, life and death, and getting a job or not. The city of Seattle covers only 77% of our costs. Pictured: Client at downtown Urban Rest Stop
Ayat 32 of Surah Hajj brilliantly highlights the importance of respecting Allah's emblems. This verse serves as a reminder that a pious heart is demonstrated by admiration and respect for what Allah has created sacred. Surah Hajj Ayat 32 of Surah Hajj is a potent reminder to all believers to uphold their faith and keep in mind the non-secular costs associated with all aspects of worship. This ayah emphasises the need for honesty and commitment in our actions.
Access to supportive services can truly transform lives, especially when it comes to securing education, employment, and stable housing. LIHI’s commitment to helping individuals through case management is a great example of how structured support leads to long-term success. For students managing heavy academic workloads, having reliable assistance is just as important.

Just as LIHI guides its participants toward stability, academic resources like this one help students navigate their educational journey with confidence.
