WORKING TOGETHER TO STAND TOGETHER

WHO WE ARE: YOUR UNSHELTERED NEIGHBORS

 “Camp United We Stand is a community designed by the homeless for the homeless in transition. Camp United WE Stand is a legally sanctioned encampment.  We apply for permits from the City of Shoreline & Seattle and the churches that shelter us. We are a 501 ©3 non-profit and listed as a non-profit with the Washington State Department of Revenue. We receive no grants or funding from city, local, state or federal agencies. We survive strictly on the love and monetary support of our friends. We welcome all to come and show their support and provide services for those in need and in transition. 


We are your unsheltered neighbors.  Everyone has a story.  So do our campers.  The homeless encampment houses up to 35 individuals. We, the board of directors, work to provide a safe place for Camp United WE Stand campers to find their way back to the life they desire.  They are assured of returning to the same place night after night to lay their heads.   To having food and drink.  The camp has garbage pickup, port a potties and recycling.  We supply toilet tissue, paper towels, paper plates, and other accoutrements that others take for granted.  


The residents are screened. No sex offenders or people with outstanding warrants are permitted.  No weapons are permitted in the camp.  No street drugs or alcohol are permitted in the camp. The rules for CUWS are strictly enforced. We have a volunteer Board of Directors. We would appreciate any and all help given.

Active participation in all phases of the administration and management of our homeless encampment, including financial commitments, sources entrusted to our care.

Our History

CUWS is a 501 ©3 non-profit and listed as a non-profit with the Washington State Department of Revenue.

The current camp consists of adults, many of whom are working. This encampment was formed in 2014 in order to focus on finding housing, keeping jobs, and getting the support they need to move forward.

The camp provides its own security detail, on duty 24/7, which patrols the camp perimeter. If needed, the police are called. Neighborhoods hosting encampments have found there are fewer problems in the area when there is such an encampment.

TESTIMONIAL FROM A FORMER CAMPER

"Camp United We Stand has helped provide me the 

chosen family that I have desperately needed since

moving to Washington state.  I have gained supports

that are here for me.  I truly believe that my pit-stop 

at the camp was for a very great purpose."

URGENT NEED FOR HOSTS

THE CAMP NEEDS HOSTS

Food justice is an important part of community justice. We take donations 

from local churches, food banks and businesses and use them to fight hunger. 


Help us connect with donors and with people in need. Local churches bring breakfast or dinner.  


Campers use microwaves to heat, propane to cook  on outdoor grill cooktops.  We have a refrigerator to keep food at the right temperature.

The Camp needs a flat parking lot or grassy area with about 10,000 -7,500 square feet, with access to power and water. 



The minimum footprint would be 7,500 square feet. The camp has a tarp fence to provide privacy and security. Many of the campers have been Shoreline residents and attended local schools.
