At Weld Seattle, we replace barriers with opportunities by empowering our members to successfully reintegrate into society. We believe that peer-support coupled with scalable solutions addressing housing, employment, and community connection are the way to bring redemption, dignity, and healing to our communities. We have found creating small, peer-supported communities with the same goal – getting a job and housing – brings a different level of personal accountability and ultimately success. Utilizing best practices such as safe, and sober recovery housing, life skills coaching, and temporary to permanent direct employment give individuals a real second chance. And our results are promising – over half of Weld members moved from Weld housing into a permanent home.
