CCA operates the Seattle and East Side RAPs for the King County community. The RAPs serves as the entry points where households experiencing homelessness may begin the process of exploring their housing options. They provide entry and assessment for the Coordinated Entry System; there is no guarantee this assessment will lead to a housing resource. Individuals and families experiencing homelessness may call ahead to schedule an appointment. RAPs can also provide Diversion Assistance to clients which consists of a one-time financial payment to secure or facilitate entry into housing. This can include a security deposit, first month’s rent, and/or transportation to a permanent housing opportunity. The RAP also has a limited ability to provide CEA navigations services to assist clients in being referred to housing stability programs.

Interested clients can call our intake line at 206-328-5900 and leave a voicemail. Calls will be returned as possible, and a CEA assessment can be completed over the phone or an appointment scheduled. The RAP also maintains drop-in hours every Tuesday at 8am. Please note: Due to demand it’s possible that not all households that seek a walk-in assessment will be able to be accommodated at the time of walk-in, but they will be prioritized for a call-back assessment. Diversion conversations must be had in person at the Randolph Carter Center or at a mobile site. Additional details can be found here: https://kcrha.org/regional-access-points/
