Removing roadblocks and opening doors. Sometimes a small cost — an ID card, gas money, a bus pass, a few hours of childcare — can stand in the way of safety, stability, and opportunity. The Decreasing Barriers Fund makes sure no one has to choose between covering the basics and taking the next step forward.
WAGAP offers a range of housing services, including emergency housing assistance, the Guided Path Shelter in Bingen, and permanent housing support with case management.
