Rotating Shelters Community-based support. Safe Shelter.
The Rotating Shelter moves to a different host congregation each month. PorchLight coordinates communication and transportation so participants know where to go each evening.
The Rotating Shelter operates year-round and plays a distinct role on PorchLight’s Path to Stability. While the Emergency Men’s Shelter provides 24-hour, harm-reduction support, the Rotating Shelter offers overnight shelter for men who are ready for structure, sobriety, and shared accountability as they work toward permanent housing.

New Rotating Shelter Shower/Laundry Trailer
Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous funder and the Bellevue Presbyterian Legacy Foundation, PorchLight now has a custom-built shower and laundry trailer to support our Rotating Shelter program. This mobile resource expands access to essential hygiene services. Purpose-built for flexibility, the trailer allows PorchLight to meet basic needs wherever shelter is offered.
