To provide low-barrier housing for individuals, couples, and families experiencing homelessness in the greater Tri-Cities area. Our low-barrier housing is modeled after the successful low-barrier shelter facilities in the cities of Walla Walla and Hermiston.
Guests are expected to obey the law and conduct themselves in a respectful, non-threatening, and non-disruptive manner. Through the dedicated efforts of our volunteers, staff, and partner organizations, we offer comprehensive support to help guests overcome personal challenges.

TCAU, founded in July 2025, is taking bold steps to bring a much-needed low-barrier shelter to the Tri-City Region. Right now, we are actively searching for a building or land where this life-changing resource can take root — and we cannot do it without community support.

TCAU, founded in July 2025, is taking bold steps to bring a much-needed low-barrier shelter to the Tri-City Region. Right now, we are actively searching for a building or land where this life-changing resource can take root — and we cannot do it without community support.
Our goal is to open our doors by 2027, providing safety, stability, and hope to our most vulnerable neighbors with a shelter location and Conestoga huts on site. To get there, we are relying on grants and the generosity of individuals, businesses, and community partners who believe, as we do, that everyone deserves a safe place to stay.
If you have a building, land available, or wish to make a donation, your contribution could be the catalyst that turns this vision into reality. Every gift, no matter the size, moves us one step closer to transforming lives in the Tri-City Region.
Together, we can build something that truly matters.
