Safe Spaces. Stronger Lives.
Our housing programs provide stability, mentorship, and community support for individuals with Sickle Cell Disease across Seattle.
Jo's Place
Jo’s Place is a transitional home for young men (ages 18–30) living with Sickle Cell Disease, located in Seattle’s Central District.
It’s more than housing — it’s a pathway to independence. Residents receive bi-monthly mentorship with SCD experts, financial and mental health coaching, and participate in wellness sessions that foster self-care and stability.
From 2023 to 2025, MSSCTF supported 20 individuals and families in securing safe, stable housing through a limited voucher initiative.
Impact 2023–2025
The Sickle Cell Hub (SC Hub)
Located in West Seattle, the SC Hub offers both permanent and emergency housing for women living with Sickle Cell Disease.
More than housing, it’s a healing space - hosting monthly sessions in yoga, acupuncture, massage, and community gatherings that nurture physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Therapeutic Services
Both homes host recurring Wellness Days: community sessions featuring yoga, reflexology, massage, laughter therapy, and group mental health support that help residents reconnect with their bodies and reduce stress.
“This experience helped my overall well-being. I enjoyed laughing for no reason in laughing yoga class. Please bring them back weekly if possible.”
Spa Participant
“Best yoga I've ever done. I wasn't a fan before but I am definitely a fan now. I can't wait to do it again.”
Spa Participant
“I learned that the movement practices can be modified from session to session to fit the needs and mobility levels of where the person is that day.”
