Application process
In Bellingham, the majority of housing providers, including Lydia Place, collaborate with the Coordinated Entry waitlist managed by the Opportunity Council. This ensures that individuals seeking housing resources only need to apply at one centralized location.
By participating in this process, Lydia Place fills all of our program spots exclusively with referrals from the Opportunity Council. This means that by joining their waitlist, you are also on Lydia Place’s waitlist.

The Opportunity Council accepts both walk-in and call-in appointments for the waitlist.

The Family Housing Program is aimed at reducing and eliminating child homelessness and will provide intensive case management paired with a variety of targeted interventions to homeless families with children, including but not limited to: emergency hotel placements, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and rapid rehousing services. The goal of this program is to assist families in exiting homelessness, maintaining stable housing, and providing nurturing environments for their children that will end the generational cycle of homelessness.
At Lydia Place, we value permanent housing solutions. Within our Family Housing Program, we have three sub-programs to help us deploy these services: Permanent Supportive Housing, Rapid Rehousing, and Campus Housing.
