Welcome to Andy’s Place
Andy’s Place opened in 2021, providing permanent supportive housing to community members in Everett. The 82 unit facility offers wraparound support services that include all of life’s essentials, like housing assistance, case management services, food assistance, financial assistance.
Since then, more than XXX individuals have called it home. It’s a place for vulnerable community members to find safety and stability on their journey to recovery.
Four years in, the residents and staff members have formed a true community.
What is supportive housing?
"That’s what supportive housing is. You have your own space, you're safe, but we have these services for you to help you take that extra step."
A foundation for the journey to recovery
Andy’s Place is a community, and a place where people can get connected to the resources they need. The community fosters success because it acts as a microcosm of the world outside, and helps residents learn how to get back into that world.
Andy’s Place is home to folks from all walks of life
A lot of the folks who are at Andy’s Place are there simply because of circumstances that can happen to all of us. People come here from every background of life – some from privilege, and some from challenging environments. You never know what a person can go through that can lead to them being homeless.
Our motto is ‘I’m two flat tires and one bad paycheck away from being homeless
When residents feel safe, they don't just survive – they live
The community that has formed at Andy’s Place is tightknit. When people feel safe and have a place to call their own, they thrive. They begin engaging in mental health services, they build rapport among each other, they give back to their community.
Success looks different for each resident. For some, a success story is as simple as having a safe space and somewhere to begin building the basic skills back up.
Client Stories
Meet the staff who make Andy’s Place a home
People like Ashanti, Suzanne, Jay, Raven, and all the residential support staff and housing coordinators make Andy’s Place a safe space for its residents. Their job is to have an unconditional positive regard, help their clients build resiliency, offer support, and celebrate wins together.
Residential Support Staff
Housing Coordinators
The residential support staff sit at the front desk, ensure people are registered guests, and are safety keepers. They also teach residents crucial life skills, like how to clean a toilet or use a mop. They prepare and create meals, help with laundry, give them cleaning supplies, and more.
These staff members are a crucial component to our residents’ success.
The housing coordinators are also a key part of Andy’s Place’s success. These staff members are in charge of maintaining housing, but they also contribute to the enrichment of residents’ lives by running engagement activities nearly every day, including cooking groups, art therapy, and life skill classes. They also host community events like barbeques, resources fairs, and more.
“Andy’s Pace reaffirms my belief in humanity.”
Community support makes a difference.
Andy’s Place has benefited from the help of so many external benefactors, including the YWCA, the Volunteers of America, Evergreen Recovery, and more.
In 2025, The Employees Community Fund of Boeing donated over $39,000 to finance an onsite laundry facility. This kind contribution will not only help residents feel clean and good, but teach them valuable life skills like how to run a washer and dryer.
The journey to recovery from here.
Andy’s Place sets people up for success through Compass Health’s continuum of care. Residents are engaged in mental health services through Compass Health’s IOP or PACT teams, through local clinics, doctors provided by the VA, social workers, case managers, and through group therapy.
Residents often step down to NorthStar next door, which is a fully independent living facility with no support services. It still exists under the Compass Health umbrella, but this facility allows residents to have more independence.
Residents also utilize Compass’s housing coordinators to look for housing and work in the community when they’re ready to move on.
"It's been five years for Andy’s Place, and we’ve come a long way...”
Andy’s Place is a place of transition, and one that’s going through a transition itself. The residents here strive every day to become the best versions of themselves, and with the help of our engaged staff, each member of this community is learning how to reengage with life outside of Andy’s Place successfully.
