Meet Claire🤍
(Name changed for confidentiality)
Claire arrived at Beth’s Place facing challenges in nearly every area of her life. She had her own ideas about what her future would look like.

During her stay, Claire built trust, learned to ask for help, and advocated for herself. She secured employment, focused on her education, and developed essential life skills like housekeeping, grocery shopping, and identifying healthy relationships.

Today, at 18 years old, Claire has just received the keys to her very first apartment! She now has a job, and most importantly, she has gained confidence in herself.

As Claire begins this exciting new chapter, our team is right beside her every step of the way.

Your generous support ensures we can provide a safe space where young people come to heal, grow, and build brighter futures!

We are immensely proud of her progress and feel grateful to be part of her path toward independence!

You can be part of the change that gives youth hope and stability.

Remembering Richard “Rich” Kirk 🤍

Community House on Broadway mourns the passing of Richard “Rich” Kirk, who passed away on September 20, 2026, in Austin, Texas.

Rich served as Executive Director of Community House on Broadway from 1989 to 2012, dedicating 23 years to helping individuals and families experiencing homelessness rebuild their lives. He believed CHOB was more than a shelter—it was a place for hope, recovery, and new beginnings.

Through his leadership, compassion, and commitment to serving others, Rich positively impacted thousands of lives throughout Cowlitz County. His legacy lives on in the people he served and the community he helped strengthen.

We are deeply grateful for Rich’s years of service and the lasting difference he made. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who loved him.

May his legacy of faith, hope, and service live on. 🤍

💙 24 Stories. 24 Journeys. One Community of Hope. 💙

We couldn’t fit all 24 stories into one post, so here are the remainder of our 24 Stories, 24 Journeys.

Each story is a reminder that homelessness, addiction, loss, and hardship don’t have to be the end of someone’s story. With support, hope, and a safe place to begin again, lives can change.

Thank you for following these journeys and for believing in the people we serve. Your support helps make hope and new beginnings possible.
