Our experience shaped us. Now we’re shaping something better.
St Claire Family Homes is a community-rooted nonprofit founded in Seattle in 2023, serving youth and families facing instability — including those navigating foster care, homelessness, or disconnection from school and services.
Our mission is to build trust, provide access, and create consistent, human-centered support for those who are often overlooked.
From Lived Experience to Leadership
“I was in California’s CPS system from the time I was 5 until I turned 14 — bouncing between foster homes and group homes. After that, I ended up in Seattle, where I was homeless with my mom at 15, living in shelters and just trying to get by.
By 18, I was homeless on my own. No family. No stable help. Just survival.
I’ve seen every side of the system — as a kid inside it, and later as a professional working in it. And I know where the gaps are. That’s why I started St Claire Family Homes: to create the kind of consistent, real-world support I needed when I was growing up — and to offer that to the youth and families who need it now.”

Our Core Values
Consistency
We follow through. Showing up once isn’t enough — stability takes commitment, and that’s what we bring.
Respect
No judgment. We meet people where they’re at, whether they’re in crisis or just need someone to talk to.
Access
From therapy referrals to housing help to mentorship, we make it easier to get the right support at the right time.
Community
Our team lives and works in the areas we serve. This isn’t just outreach — it’s relationship-building.
Vision Statement
We’re building a long-term model of community care — one that starts with early outreach and grows into housing, healing, and youth development programs across King County and beyond.
