ROOTS Young Adult Shelter is Washington state’s largest overnight shelter specifically for young adults ages 18–25. We provide a safe, welcoming, and affirming space for up to 45 young people each night in the University District of Seattle. Our shelter is low-barrier, meaning you don’t need an ID on your first night, income, or proof of anything to stay with us. In addition to a warm meal and a safe place to sleep, guests can access case management, housing navigation, wellness supports, employment help, and connection to community resources.
Our services are open to everyone ages 18-25 experiencing housing instability.
