Our Homes
Real homes in neighborhoods where people thrive.
Not shelters. Not institutions. Beautiful, WAQRR-accredited single-family homes we own in safe, supportive Seattle neighborhoods — because it's hard to change your life in the same place that broke it.
Step Inside
Kate's Red House — where it all began, 2015
Take the 3D tour of our very first home.
The mission behind the first Kate's House was simple: give women great homes in great suburban neighborhoods to help them start over. It was a revolutionary idea — most recovery housing is tucked into the roughest parts of town, and it's hard to change your life when you're back in the same environment that broke it.
Frank and Sherri hold high expectations of the men and women who move in — people who have already been doing the hard work of changing their lives, and who plan to keep at it.
To make the vision work, Frank and Sherri had to build something entirely new. They call it compassionate investment — helping others and making the work pay for itself, at the same time.
Is that possible? They're living proof. The first house quickly paid for itself, then made a second possible, and then a third — letting them build real estate in one of the most expensive cities in the country, using retirement funds for the down payments. What began in Seattle is sparking interest nationwide.
The Homes
Eight homes. Eight colors. One promise.
Each home carries a color and a purpose — every one, real estate we own in a safe, supportive neighborhood. Kate's House built the first WAQRR-accredited homes in Washington State.
