Low-Barrier Shelter & Harm Reduction
With a focus on harm reduction, Wenatchee Rescue Mission operates a low-barrier shelter that encourages people experiencing homelessness to seek safety, stability, and support without unnecessary obstacles.
Our doors are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We work closely with local law enforcement, hospitals, and partner agencies to keep people out of jail, out of crisis, and out of harm’s way—and connected instead to care and solutions.
We remove every barrier that might prevent someone from choosing shelter:
- No ID required
- Pets are welcome
- Couples and friends can stay together.
- No background checks
- Sobriety is not required.
This approach ensures that even the most vulnerable—those with trauma, mental illness, addiction, or fear of traditional shelters—have a safe place to go.

Permanent Housing Outcomes
Our teams have successfully connected our guests to Permanent Housing—moving them from crisis to stability and into homes of their own.
- 2024: 37 people housed
- 2025: 34 people housed
These numbers represent real people who now sleep in their own beds, have their own keys, and have a foundation for rebuilding their lives.
This year marks a significant step forward. We have hired a dedicated Housing Specialist whose sole focus is to find housing, remove barriers, and walk each guest all the way home. This role allows us to build landlord relationships, overcome application and financial obstacles, and ensure no housing opportunity is lost.
Housing is more than a roof—it is the foundation for recovery, employment, family reunification, and long-term independence. With this new role in place, we believe even more men, women, and families will move from homelessness to stability in the coming year.

How We Help People Rebuild Their Lives
Wenatchee Rescue Mission provides more than shelter and food—we provide a path forward by removing the practical and personal barriers that keep people stuck in homelessness. Our team works one-on-one with each guest to help them take the next step toward stability.
A few ways we help people:
- Spiritual support.
- Reconnect with community
- Connect with local churches.
- Counseling
- Medical
- Replace State ID and Driver’s Licenses
- Obtain Social Security cards and vital documents.
- Help with medical care, mental health services, and recovery programs.
- Find and maintain employment.
- Move into permanent housing
- After shelter support
These critical supports allow our guests to regain their identity, their health, their income, and ultimately their independence.
