About Elizabeth Gregory Home
Elizabeth Gregory Home provides a welcoming and respectful refuge where women who are experiencing homelessness, trauma, or economic insecurity have access to a caring community and critical resources. Elizabeth Gregory Home (EGH) was established in 2001 by members of University Lutheran Church as a separate 501(c)3 non-profit, nonfaith-based organization. After a lengthy study of the most critical social needs in the University District, University Lutheran Church voted overwhelmingly to address housing for women experiencing homelessness. The program was named the Elizabeth Gregory Home after a very special woman who dedicated her life to working with underserved and vulnerable populations.
William E. Wockner's Impact
With grant support from the William E. Wockner Foundation, the Elizabeth Gregory House has been able to support unhoused, vulnerable, and senior women at their Day Shelter. They are now seeing around 60 women per day and are open 6 days per week. They are providing a full breakfast and lunch each day they’re open, and have many services to help individuals stay healthy, clean, and safe. The Elizabeth Gregory team supports their guests by cooking healthy meals, assisting with laundry and showers, case management, health navigation, mental health counseling, art, and housing assistance.
