PORT HADLOCK - Bayside Housing Services, a temporary housing program that provides short-term housing to those in need, recently completed their first  successful fundraising drive on October 2nd. $65,000 was raised all together; $35,000 being raised by donation plus a $30,000 match pool.

After sitting empty for years, the Old Alcohol Plant was a great choice to be used for temporary housing as well as a community gathering place.

BHS rents one floor of the historic building to be used for this transitional housing model. The model has been used in other areas of the country and has worked well giving people the opportunity to transition out of homelessness and into permanent housing. Bayside’s mission is to provide safe, temporary supportive housing so people in need can secure permanent housing.

Guests of the program sign agreements of 28 days and are able to renew with program director approval.  Priorities are given to veterans, seniors, and low income or low wage earners in Jefferson County.

The non-profit accepts donations of time, money, and supplies.  You can visit them on the web at www.baysidehousing.org for more information.

Couple updates! We actually made $80K in donations at the event on Sept. 30th, including the $30K match funds. Add in the ticket sales and donations made in lieu of attending, and the event grossed around $94K - truly incredible, knocked my $65K goal out of the park! We are so grateful to the community for their generosity. This money keeps us running smoothly through the winter; we'll be adding an additional year-round room for temporary housing and can now move our case manager to full-time, so he can keep giving the same high level of care as we serve more people. We're working on some temporary rooms for the winter while the hotel is at lower occupancy, as well. Thanks for getting the word out about Bayside - this was such a nice surprise!
