There’s nothing in the world quite like a group of people coming together to solve a problem. SideWalk is a fiercely passionate team of volunteers and employees who are on a mission to end homelessness in Thurston County.

Homelessness is a complex and dynamic problem, driven by rising rent prices, systemic barriers to housing, structural racism, and a wide variety of other ever-changing challenges. We aim to be as dynamic as the problem that we are trying to solve. We combine grassroots community engagement with evidence-driven methods and modern problem-solving tools to end homelessness.
