🎈 This year marks a meaningful milestone: five years of service at our 𝗔𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗮 𝗢𝗮𝗸𝘀 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿. We are deeply grateful to the City of Shoreline City Hall for its steadfast support and for championing the creation of a dedicated space where our work could take root and grow. This partnership has been instrumental in making Aurora Oaks what it is today.
We also extend our sincere appreciation to our committed and compassionate staff (shown here at Shoreline City Hall!) whose dedication shows up every single day in the care they provide. Their work is the foundation of stability and supports our clients' experience.
Aurora Oaks Shelter opened in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, building on nearly two decades of outreach and housing services led by Lake City Partners across North King County. At the time, there was understandable uncertainty about whether a new shelter could succeed under such challenging conditions. Five years later, that question has been answered.
Aurora Oaks has not only endured, it has thrived. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿. Through the consistency of support plus the strength of our community, our unhoused neighbors have found stability, support, and a path forward.
As we celebrate this anniversary, we remain focused on the future and the continued impact we can make together. We are grateful to all of you, and the lives you have helped change.
