FUSION Transitional Housing

 Starting in 1993 with a single one-bedroom condominium, FUSION has grown to provide housing for up to 20 families in Federal Way and Northeast Tacoma through a mix of condominiums and single-family homes. In-house case management ensures a thorough screening process, with applicants required to meet specific criteria before entering the program.

A dedicated team of FUSION volunteers, known as the Transition Team, prepares each fully furnished home to welcome new families. Every child’s bedroom is thoughtfully designed with their favorite décor and stocked with age-appropriate toys, games, and books. Upon move-in, families find essential kitchen supplies, including dishes, cookware, and food for the first few days, along with fresh linens, cleaning kits, and hygiene products.

Families stay in FUSION’s Transitional Housing for up to 18 months, benefiting from case management support to build stability and work toward self-sufficiency. During this time, they focus on accumulating basic assets and establishing a sustainable lifestyle. FUSION also partners with community organizations to provide additional support services.

As part of their journey, families commit to setting goals and meeting regularly with their Case Manager to work toward stable employment and permanent housing.

Since its inception, FUSION has helped more than 200 families transition from homelessness to independent, productive lives, with over 85% securing permanent housing after their stay in FUSION Transitional Housing.

If you are interested in applying for our Transitional Housing program, please complete the Housing Referral form below to begin the process. 

When a family is ready to exit our program, the FUSION-created Finally Home fund assists with moving expenses when no other community funds are available.

You can support FUSION in furnishing Transitional Housing homes by donating usable furniture and household goods. Check out our needs.

The Housing Team is looking for volunteers to help manage and maintain FUSION homes. Learn more at How To Help or email volunteers@fusionfederalway.org
