For more than 20 years, ESS has provided funding and practical support to the Village Family Project, a Seattle nonprofit helping people move from homelessness toward stable, productive, and meaningful lives.
The project is based in Seattle’s University District. Since 2006 it has helped more than 100 people move toward safer housing, stability, and greater independence. A second home opened in 2025, expanding the program to candidates of all ages.
ESS has helped fund the project’s operations for more than two decades.

Food, transportation, clothing, phones, documents, and household basics can make the difference between crisis and progress.
The project helps residents build routines, restore trust, and move toward more productive and meaningful lives.
