Serenity House of Clallam County

Serenity House of Clallam County is an independent nonprofit organization and the lead housing agency for very low-income clients in Clallam County. Serenity House provides shelter to families and single adults.  We also operate a number of programs through our housing resource centers located in Port Angeles, Sequim, and Forks.  These programs include case management services that teach life, finance, relationship, and work skills; intervention programs that prevent homelessness from occurring and facilitate drug treatment; employment training for clients 16 years and older; and YES! Youth Entry Services for youth and young adults.  We also conduct street outreach to unsheltered and sheltered youth and adult homeless aimed at enrolling them in programs that lead to housing and employment.

Serenity House owns and operates four housing complexes with 45 adult and 16 family units.  We provide placements with case management for another 10 privately owned units and we master lease a housing complex to another agency to provide 16 units of housing on the West End.  In addition to this, we work with over 100 local landlords for private housing placements with rental subsidies and limited tenant damages reimbursement.

Serenity House is the Washington Commerce regulatory compliance provider with other non-government county service agencies providing housing related services and we maintain the state and federally mandated HMIS system in Clallam County.  We sub-grant county CHG Funding to three other agencies – Healthy Families, Fork’s Abuse & NORVHN.
