TCAU was founded in July of 2025. The mission of TCAU is to provide low-barrier housing for individuals, couples, and families experiencing homelessness in the greater Tri-Cities area. Our low-barrier housing will be modeled after the successful low-barrier shelter facilities in the cities of Walla Walla and Hermiston. Guests will be expected to obey the law and conduct themselves in a respectful, non-threatening, and non-disruptive manner.
Our goal is to open our doors by 2027, providing safety, stability, and hope to our most vulnerable neighbors.
