Welcome to the Homeward Bound program,

Homeward Bound is a fund dedicated to providing travel expenses for individuals struggling with homelessness in Spokane who may have stability in another community. The funds can be used to purchase plane, train or bus tickets. In addition, the funds can cover other associated costs such as taxi services, local transit fees, Uber/Lyft expenses, pet fee and baggage fees to help facilitate relocation. It is the hope that this funding will reunite individuals with their friends, family or loved ones to quickly resolve their housing crisis. Individuals who wish to receive assistance through this fund must be currently homeless in Spokane County and have a stable place to live indefinitely upon reaching their chosen destination.

This fund cannot provide funds to bring an individual back to Spokane County from another community. Tickets purchased by the Homeward Bound program are one-way only. Self-refferals are not allowed, and individuals wishing to receieve these funds must have an intake done by a local Spokane homeless provider, such as:

• Jewels Helping Hands
• SNAP
• Catholic Charities
• Peer Spokane
• Cup of Cool Water
• Volunteers of America
• Community Centers
• Other
  • Outreach projects, social workers, hospital staff, or any other case managers
  • Peer support can submit a referral as long as they are associated with an agency in Spokane.
