WE BELIEVE EVERYONE DESERVES A HOME.

Since 1986, United Churches Emergency Fund has devoted its energy to passionately work to prevent homelessness through direct support of our neighbors in need.

An investment in UCEF prevents the cycle of homelessness from starting.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR DIRECTOR

OUR SUPPORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

 

The graph above shows that people are frequently evicted for as little as $100, an amount that UCEF could completely cover. When UCEF partners with other agencies, our money can go even further.

The map above shows the city broken down by zip code. The darker the blue, the more evictions. UCEF helps people in North East Seattle – where the rate of eviction is some of the highest in the city.

 

BREAK THE CYCLE

UCEF continues to fill a need in our community – to help prevent homelessness before it happens. Many of our clients are employed, but they don’t have enough money to cover their rent or utility bill before the next paycheck comes in. UCEF is there to catch people in crisis, to cover them when their own emergency funds are insufficient or have been exhausted.
