Sun Community Service

Sun House has been providing transitional housing for people with serious, chronic mental illness since 1975. The Sun House accepts donations to help with unexpected repairs, special occasions (holidays, birthdays, etc.) Monetary donations are tax-deductible. We also welcome donations of household items such as towels, silverware, twin-sized sheets and toiletry items.

Sun Community Service provides emergency shelter and Permanent Supportive Housing to people in Whatcom County who are homeless and have significant behavioral health/mental health needs. We have been serving the people of Whatcom County since 1973. The environment of the Sun House is different from other agencies — instead of adhering strictly to a medical model, the house experience is similar to living in a community. People have the choice of how to manage their medications, spend their leisure time and how they structure their lives; both friendships and family relationships are encouraged as well as strengthened at the Sun House.
