Our Facility and Program:  We now operate one large home with a residential capacity of 16 adults and 10 children of pre-school age.  We staff the home continuously with one of several client advocate employees. Our residents participate in various programs designed to help them enhance their parenting, independent living, and employment skills.  Substantially all our residents are referred by local social service agencies, including state Child Protective Services and Pierce County's Drug Court program.  New Phoebe House Association began operations in the last week of 2002.  An organization named Phoebe House Association had fulfilled a similar mission for about 15 years, but had closed in the spring of 2002 due to administrative and funding problems.  New Phoebe House Association was formed, and is directed and administered, by local individuals who were not associated with the earlier organization.

Our Board Members: Cathy Bordeaux, Jerry Cochran (Vice President), Donna Costi (Treasurer), Jim Price, Diane Rhoades, Doug Schafer, Kathy Swartz (President), Bobbie Jo Tarnecki (Secretary), and Susan Winskill.

Our Advisory Board (all former board members): Doris Berry, Pam Brewer, Senator Rosa Franklin, Brenda Lopez, Wade Moberg, and Helen Myrick.

Our Funding Sources: Operational and capital funding has been granted by governmental programs, foundations, businesses, churches, civic clubs, and many individual contributors. We charge our residents a modest monthly service fee if they have income.

Generous 2008 Supporters: We extend a big THANK YOU for the wonderful "make over" of our facility by the Staff & Agents of Windermere Pacific Commons & Windermere-Puyallup/Canyon Road, and by the donations of Gary Johnson Floor Covering, Continental Van, SD Deacon, and Northwest Furniture Bank.
