WELCOME TO Muslim Housing Services
MHS is a 501(c)3 charity and our work would not be possible without the generous donations of community members like you. Please consider donating to help keep the roof over someone's head.
Since 1999, Muslim Housing Services (MHS) has served low-income and homeless families in Seattle and throughout King County. We were founded due to the urgent need of culturally and linguistically competent programs and staff, after noticing that many families were not able to access mainstream services. Many of our clients are from refugee and immigrant families, especially those from East Africa and the Middle East. We happily serve anyone who qualifies for our programs regardless of background.
We believe in the Housing First approach – that it is necessary for families to have shelter before they can be expected to make progress in the areas of employment, education, and becoming self-sufficient. We remove the barrier of housing and then work with clients to reach goals in other areas of life.
Case Management
Clients in all of our programs receive culturally & linguistically appropriate case management to help them get back on their feet and become self-sufficient.
When clients meet with their case managers, they discuss whatever barriers they are trying to overcome. Common ones include:
Case managers connect clients to resources and help them troubleshoot ways to overcome these challenges. They provide advice on navigating systems that many clients are new to.
Other Programs
Our youth soccer program provides:

We have very diverse staff and our staff speak the following languages:
Goals
