Who We Are

Reach of Washington County is a faith-based, non-profit organization birthed in 1990 when a group of compassionate people responded to a need in our community and agreed to make themselves available 24 hours a day for emergencies such as motel placements for homeless families, food, prescription medication and more.

We have come a long way since those humble beginnings. We now partner with the faith community to operate a year-round Day Resource Center where county residents facing housing crises or having other urgent needs can come for resources, referrals and a listening ear; a Cold Weather Shelter with case management to help clients move from homelessness to self sufficiency; and the original 24-Hour Crisis program that continues to address urgent housing needs arising after our normal office hours.

Our Work

Community Support - We are able to provide a variety of services only because of the more than 1000 dedicated and caring people in this community who accept the call to servanthood and live it out by coming back year after year to serve in our shelter and resource center…people who give sacrificially of their time and resources because they believe in what we do.

Cold Weather Shelter - A primary service of REACH is providing a cold weather shelter to Washington County adults in crisis. The shelter is not a single solution, but part of a comprehensive set of services offered to get those in need back on their feet and into more permanent, affordable housing. Learn More »

Housing Assistance - The Day Resource Center is staffed by trained volunteers who meet with Washington County residents facing a crisis to offer encouragement, advice, and referrals to other providers, as well as monetary assistance. Our primary focus is the prevention of homelessness which includes eviction prevention, rent deposits and/or first month’s rent, utility deposits and other housing related needs. Learn More »
