Catholic Community Services of Western Washington

Catholic Community Services of Western Washington (CCSWW) is a faith-based nonprofit providing essential services to vulnerable populations across western Washington state. Its work spans youth, immigrants, older adults, and people experiencing homelessness, with particular focus on those struggling with poverty and the effects of intolerance and racism. The organisation has served communities throughout the region for over a century.

CCSWW's programmes cover several distinct service areas: behavioral health counseling, substance use disorder treatment, recovery and wellness services, and permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness. These sit within a broader portfolio of social services delivered through partnership with community organisations, faith-based groups, and government agencies.

The organisation describes itself as rooted in the Catholic Gospel message of love and hope and in the sacredness and dignity of every human person. Its workforce is ecumenical: employees and volunteers come from many faith traditions. Work is mission-driven and oriented toward justice and lasting positive change, and the organisation draws on both paid staff and volunteers to carry it out.

CCSWW operates in the nonprofit and social services sector, with activity in youth services, immigration and refugee services, aging and older adult services, homelessness and supportive housing, and behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment.
