Southend Village
Southend Village is an enhanced, city-sanctioned transitional tiny house community in South Seattle's Rainier Valley, operating in partnership with Truevine of Holiness Missionary Baptist Church and the Refugee Women's Alliance (ReWA). Fully insulated climate-controlled micro-units, 24/7 on-site security, professional caseworkers, and communal infrastructure provide low-barrier shelter for vulnerable families and individuals—a springboard into permanent local housing.
