HOPEWORKS STATION NORTH

HopeWorks Station North is taking transformation to the next level.

Situated on what was once an underutilized industrial area, this development will anchor a bustling hub of opportunity for members of our community looking to get stabilized and on a career pathway.

Growing up, I experienced unspeakable violence and poverty. When I had my son, I fled home to protect him. We had nowhere to live except in my car. It broke my heart that I couldn’t provide for him better.

Thankfully, a shelter eventually opened up. Now stably housed, I interned at HopeWorks. My experience there was life-changing. I gained essential job skills and greater confidence. They helped me apply for work. The day Chase Bank called to offer me a job, I screamed so loud my son ran to see if I was OK!

Today, I’m pursuing my bachelor’s degree with a goal of working for Chase corporate in communications after I graduate.

Everyone trapped in poverty has untapped potential. They just need to be given an opportunity. HopeWorks gave me that. Please make a gift today to HopeWorks North so that others like me have that same opportunity to thrive and grow. Thank you!

CULINARY PROGRAM

The ground level of this 67,000 square foot development will be dedicated entirely to a group of food service social enterprises, the cornerstone of which is the cafe. Coming soon, this space will have a new face and feel. A thoughtfully designed kitchen and production space complete with state-of-the-art, highly energy-efficient equipment will expand our training opportunities and culinary offerings. A welcoming space and wholesome food will combine to create an environment that encourages people to buy local, savor connections to community, and incubate ideas for positive change.

VETERAN PROGRAMS

Veterans have reentered the community in large numbers after service to our nation. A surprisingly high percentage have experienced homelessness as a result of social, physical, and mental health challenges. Post-Traumatic Stress and substance abuse are common factors within this population. A stable, affordable place to live is a fundamental need for veterans desiring employment pathways which is why HopeWorks Station North has 15 apartments dedicated to veterans who pursue employment pathways.

YOUTH PROGRAM

HopeWorks Station North also has 15 apartments dedicated to homeless youth seeking long term housing, job training and a brighter future. These apartments are the result of a coordinated initiative between Housing Hope, HopeWorks and Cocoon house to break the cycle of generational poverty

BICYCLE PROGRAM

The building is equipped with 89 bicycle parking stations and a maintenance/repair station. The bike racks are available for customers on the Broadway level. Residents are offered an “Earn a Bike” opportunity by completing a course on bicycle safety, travel basics and repair. Incentives including bike lights, locks and bus passes may be made available.

SUSTAINABILITY

The HopeWorks Station goal is to transform the way we use, produce, and consume energy. This is being accomplished through both energy generation and an energy behavior initiative. Through the performance of the building, we are seeking to generate a model that will benefit affordable housing developers in Washington State and promote a sustainability concept in our community.

HopeWorks Station is participating in the International Living Future Institute’s Living Building Challenge, it is a rigorous building standard designed to create spaces that give more than they take. Click to learn more.

FAMILY TREATMENT COURT

Since 2007, the Snohomish County Point-in-Time Count reports drug and alcohol addiction as a top three reason for homelessness. Meaningful reductions in addiction related homelessness can only be achieved through a coordinated effort, which is why Housing Hope and HopeWorks are partnering with the Snohomish County Family Drug Treatment Court (SCFDTC) program.

The SCFDTC is a court-supervised treatment and parenting program for parents with children involved in the child welfare system.  A Washington State University Study found that participants in SCFDTC had a significantly higher treatment completion rate than those who participated in treatment through the traditional dependency system, fewer parents had their parental rights terminated, and children spent less time in the child welfare system. ​

 HopeWorks North includes ten apartments with Project-Based Vouchers dedicated to serving homeless parents in the SCFDTC program who have a vision, goal, and motivation to pursue education and employment activities that lead to living wage careers. By the time of their graduation, participants have established a stable recovery, have been living with their children for over six months, and have completed chemical dependency treatment. This coordinated effort to break the cycle of poverty will help reunify families, restoring hope in the process.
