Built from lived experience. Designed for long-term impact.
St Claire Family Homes is a community-rooted nonprofit serving youth and families experiencing instability, disconnection, and system involvement. Founded in Seattle in 2023, we focus on supporting young people and caregivers navigating foster care involvement, homelessness, behavioral health challenges, and gaps in access to consistent services.
Our work centers on one core belief: support only works when it’s consistent and rooted in trust.
We exist to bridge the space between crisis and stability — helping youth and families access the support they need, when they need it, without judgment or unnecessary barriers.
Why We Exist
Too many systems are fragmented. Youth and families are passed from program to program, worker to worker, without continuity or relationship.
St Claire Family Homes was created to operate differently.
We focus on:
long-term engagement, not one-time interventions
relationship-based outreach, not transactional services
real-world navigation of systems, not paperwork alone
Our goal is not just access — it’s follow-through.

From Lived Experience to Leadership
St Claire Family Homes was founded by Jordan Midgette, whose life has been shaped by direct experience inside the very systems the organization now works to improve.
Jordan spent much of his childhood in California’s child welfare system, moving between foster homes and group homes from early childhood through adolescence. As a teenager, he experienced homelessness with his family after relocating to Seattle. By age 18, he was homeless on his own, navigating survival without consistent support or adult guidance.
Later, Jordan entered the human services field, working directly with individuals and families experiencing homelessness, behavioral health challenges, and system involvement. That dual perspective — as both a former system-involved youth and a professional inside the system — revealed where services break down and where they can be rebuilt.
“St Claire Family Homes was created to offer the kind of consistency, advocacy, and grounded support that was missing during those early years — and to ensure today’s youth and families don’t have to navigate those gaps alone.”

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.
