The Edmonds New Start Center (EDNSC) is a new 24/7 Emergency Housing facility operated by the YWCA of Seattle | King | Snohomish, located in Edmonds, Washington. The center provides safe, supportive housing for up to 45 individuals transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing. Clients have access to a range of onsite services, including case management, life skills training, and connections to healthcare, employment, and other community resources, all designed to support their journey toward stability and self sufficiency.

Life Coaches work with clients in an emergency housing setting to support their transition into permanent housing. Through comprehensive intake and individualized services—such as housing navigation and employment support—Life Coaches help clients overcome barriers to stability.

Life Coaches are responsible for conducting intakes, setting and tracking client goals, connecting clients to community resources, facilitating life skills workshops, and monitoring progress toward long-term housing stability and self-sufficiency.
