Twelve Eastside congregations have created a "floating shelter" for the homeless, moving the homeless men using its services from building to building during the year. Now in its seventh year, the "Congregations for the Homeless" gives up to 30 homeless men a place to sleep every night.

LDS congregations in seattle are part of more than 50 additonal congregations that provide volunteers and support for the program. The LDS volunteers help during the month of the year that the shelter is housed at the Temple De Hirsch Sinai.
