LINC NW - PNW Non-Profit Spotlight

About the Hoff Foundation: Our mission is to break the dysfunctional cycle that leads to sex-traffcking, compromised mental health, addiction, homelessness, or trauma in women and children. We accomplish this through three programs: Esther's Place, a Day Resource Center offering  underserved and unhoused women and their children a safe, warm place to get a hot shower, clean clothes, food, hygiene supplies,  critical resources, and community Monday - Friday from 9a-4p. Esther's Place is located at 3705 Broadway, Everett. Through  New Creation Communities Housing Program (NCCHP), where we have 2 WAQRR Level 2 state certified recovery homes. Here women are offered a safe place to heal and grow, offering them not just a bed, but wrap-around services that include recovery coaching, counseling, trauma resources, life skills classes, job readiness and more. Lastly, through transformational makeovers with Queen It's A New Day. We invite women who are transitioning back into the workplace a complete makeover from the inside out, offering haircuts & styles,  makeup makeovers, manicures & pedicures, and 3 professional outfits with accessories. They hear inspirational success stories from former "Queens" that give them hope when they need it the most.  About Judy: Judy Hoff is a licensed pastor, counselor, author, and speaker.
