Book an appointment worker with our team’s social worker to chat about the support you’re looking for. Give us a ring at (206) 723-4105 or send us an email at community.connector@rvfb.org to schedule an appointment.
Once you’ve schedule an appointment, please complete our intake form so that our social workers can begin looking into resources for you!
Overdose Prevention Resources
Stop by to pick up Naloxone or fentanyl test strips. Every life is worth saving. Call Never Use Alone (877) 696-1996.
ID Vouchers
Have you lost your ID and are in need of a replacement? Stop and see our social worker for a free ID replacement voucher. Valid to replace ID’s, drivers license, or out of state ID’s.
financial assistance Helpline
We know, just like you do that the options for financial assistance in South Seattle are often limited. Our helpline provides one-time financial assistance with past-due rent, utilities, and moving costs.
Applications are due by the second Tuesday of each month (applications submitted after will go into the following month). You will be notified within the third week of the month if your funding request has been granted, and funding will be sent on the fourth week of the month.
