The Partnerships Behind MystiCares Washington's Work

None of MystiCares Washington's work happens in isolation. Housing navigation, employment support, and community events all depend on coalitions and fellow agencies working alongside us. Here's a look at a few of the partnerships that have shaped our work, and how your organization can start a conversation with us.

Recognized by the Seattle–King County Continuum of Care

MystiCares Washington and Kent HAY were nominated for the 2025 Seattle–King County Continuum of Care Outstanding Partner Award, recognizing the collaboration between our teams on housing navigation work in the region. Read more.

On stage at Housing California

From March 18–21, MystiCares Washington leadership — Meaghan Highwood, Director, and Paul Hall, Assistant Director — represented Washington on a panel at the Housing California Conference in Sacramento, titled “Unlocking Every Door: Community-Based Housing Strategies Beyond Section 8.” The panel shared Washington-based, community-centered housing strategies with a statewide California audience.

Several other MystiCares Washington staff members made the trip to California too, not to present, but to learn, network, and build relationships with organizations doing similar work outside Washington. Housing solutions rarely stay confined to one state's rules and programs, and cross-state conversations like this one are part of how our approach keeps evolving.

Showing up for Beyond Boundaries

Mysti's served as a Justice Champion Sponsor for the Beyond Boundaries Community Resource Fair, hosted by WorkSource Pierce, joining a coalition of organizations offering employment, housing, legal, behavioral health, and reentry resources to the community in one place. Read more.

Want to partner or refer a client?

Mysti's works alongside referral partners, housing providers, hospitals and clinics, reentry programs, employers, and community organizations across Washington. If your agency wants to start a partnership conversation or send a referral, visit our Partners page — please don't include client names, IDs, diagnoses, or documents in any initial outreach.

Every partnership on this list started the same way: someone from another organization decided it was worth reaching out. Whether you're a housing authority, a coalition, a hospital discharge team, or a community group planning your own resource fair, we'd rather hear from you early than after the details are locked in — that's usually when the most useful collaborations take shape.
