On any given day there are over 550 homeless individuals in
Whatcom County. 1 in 5 of those individuals are children under age 10. Lydia
Place has been serving homeless families in our community for over 26 years and
is dedicated to ending homelessness in Whatcom County. The mission of
Lydia Place is support households in establishing sustained independence by
providing housing, supportive services, advocacy, education, and by raising
awareness of the faces and causes of homelessness. Executive Director, Emily
O’Connor, will provide an overview of the efforts underway both at Lydia Place
and throughout our community to address the issue of homelessness.
