Mission
Aurora Commons cultivates belonging and community to foster health and healing among our neighbors experiencing poverty and homelessness.
-
Aurora Commons cultivates community and belonging to foster health and healing among our neighbors experiencing poverty and homelessness. Aurora Commons welcomed 41,937 visits from our neighbors experiencing poverty & homelessness, a 64% increase from the year before. The increase is reflected in all of our program engagement as well. Advocates worked with 1,117 individuals, 10% increase from FY24. Our team-based advocacy leaves lots of room for people to come as they are and sit down with an advocate. This low-barrier approach has helped us better connect with those who come to Aurora Commons each week. Our onsite clinics also saw an increase of patients, SHE Clinic seeing 276 individuals and Aurora Clinic seeing 222 individuals. Our goal is to continue to re-imagine how we can better serve our amazing neighbors. After over 11 years of holding the stories of our neighbors we recognize both the complexities of each individual narrative as well as some of the commonalities that emerge as barriers to seeking care and taking steps toward stability. We offer many practical resources for our neighbors who are struggling to access basic survival needs, however, at the heart of our philosophy of care we know that over time as these neighbors build trusting relationships with our staff, they will feel safe enough to address their more complex needs and overcome these challenges and barriers they face when trying to navigate the larger network of social services in Seattle.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
