Long-Term Transitional Housing
Cocoon House provides long-term transitional housing at Cocoon Complex to teens ages 15-17 who have no other place to go (such as with parents, relatives, or friends). The Complex is located in downtown Everett, WA. We have 16 beds available in rooms with private bathrooms, a large community dining/living room, kitchen, and a courtyard featuring an organic garden.
Cocoon Complex is a place to work on yourself, a place to set and work toward goals. It's about having a place to live and food to eat, feeling safe, going to school and receiving help with schoolwork, and learning to become more independent. The friendly staff at Cocoon Complex make our residents feel welcome and at home. We plan fun outings and activities, watch movies, play games, do arts projects, talk to each other, listen to music... basically hang out. Staff are on shift 24 hours and are easy to talk to. We try to help residents in any way we can.
Cocoon Complex offers a variety of special services to youth in our program.
However, we have a few rules that each resident must follow in order to stay at the Complex.
Staying at the Complex is not totally free but the cost is fairly minimal. Because Cocoon is a place we want residents to call home, we ask each to invest a little something into it. For non-working youth 10 hours of community service a month is to be done on site. For working youth the cost per month is 30% of your income - which is saved and paid back in full when youth move out of the Complex.
