Compass began in Seattle's Pioneer Square in 1920 as a haven for those working in the regions earliest industries. Over the decades, Compass began offering increasingly comprehensive assistance to unstably-housed Veterans, families with children, and men and women with complex needs.

For 100 years, Compass Housing Alliance has been meeting the needs of the community across the Puget Sound region by providing enhanced emergency housing programs and affordable housing programs for those experiencing homelessness and housing instability.
