On July 1, 2010 Nativity House became a program of Catholic Community Services. Since that time Nativity House has been operating as part of the Homeless Adult Services (HAS) unit of CCS. There are so many ways that we are growing and building on the spirit and work we have been faithfully doing for so many years.

Together with the Hospitality Kitchen (HK) and the Tacoma Avenue Shelter (TAS), Nativity House (NH) plays a critical role in providing a warm, safe, respectful place for our guests around the clock, every day of the year. Catholic Community Services' Homeless Adult Services continuum allows greater access to services which are more coordinated, effective and compassionate for guests of all three programs. The relationship centered ministry of presence, which NH has provided for more than 30 years, remains the cornerstone of our service philosophy and the foundation of meaningful change in the lives of those we serve.

NH is open Monday, Thursday and Friday from noon until 5pm. Saturday and Sunday and all holidays from 8am until 5pm. On weekdays one meal and a snack is served, on weekends two meals are served. ID cards, bus tickets, rental assistance, toiletries, local and long distance phone calls, a mailing address, and a clothing room are all avaliable to our guests.

To contact NH please call 253.272.5266 or 253.779.9248. Donations are always welcome, especially warm, clean adult clothing and toiletries (soap, shampoo, lotion, razors, deodorant).  Financial gifts are accepted either at NH, by mail or by visiting the CCS web page and clicking on the Nativity House page; CCSWW.org

Mark your calendars now to be at the Landmark Convention Center on February 25, 2012 for a night of Celebrating Hope!  The Annual Gala Auction is the largest fundraiser for Nativity House - please click on the "News" tab on this page for more information.
