Application & Tuition What

It is the entry point to the network of resources & services for individuals experiencing or at imminent risk of homelessness. People in need of stable housing share their situation with Wenatchee Rescue Mission staff via online form or phone call intake. Staff then will make referrals to all participating agencies' programs based on their eligibility. There is often a waitlist for services but staff works with individuals to help as fast as possible.

In addition to connecting to people with longer-term resources, in partnership with the organizations listed on the next page, Wenatchee Rescue Mission can provide one financial support directly to resolve short-term barriers to stable housing to those at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

The Coordinated Entry system does not assist people with finding market rate or affordable housing. These are not relocation services for people looking for homes or apartments to rent / buy.
