Services
The Women's Resource Center currently operates the following programs:
Permanent Supportive Housing
Miller Park and Parkside Apartments is a 36-unit facility that houses individuals who were previously, chronically homeless, have a diagnosed disability and earn less than 30 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). Parkside and Miller Park operate using the Housing First Model. We also have funding for seven scattered site Permanent Supportive Housing units that operate on the same model. Leases are written in the tenants name and they pay rent on a sliding scale.
Bruce Transitional Housing
The Bruce Hotel in downtown Wenatchee, is home to families and individuals transitioning out of homelessness. Households are eligible for services up to 24-months, however, we start working with families right away to get them on track to exit to stable housing as soon as possible. Households must earn 50 percent or less of the Area Median Income (AMI). Residents are required to attend resident meetings, participate in self-sufficiency planning with case managers, abstain from using drugs and alcohol and perform chores. Residents are subject to drug and alcohol testing. There is a monthly program fee.
Landlord Tenant Liaison Program
The Wenatchee Valley Landlord Tenant Liaison Program (WV-LTL) is part of the City of Wenatchee's Ten-Year Plan to end homelessness. Since Chelan and Douglas counties are unable to build enough new rental properties to address our housing shortage, we are partnering with private landlords in our community to rent to our most vulnerable clients. The WV-LTL is looking for private landlords who are willing to rent to households who have rental barriers such as past eviction, criminal background or bad credit, often due to circumstances not within their control.
