Is 22 North “No Barrier Housing”?

No. 22 North is categorized as “low-barrier” housing, or housing designed with a minimum of expectations or requirements to live there. The focus of low-barrier housing is to provide stability and community while minimizing the risks of certain behaviors. In many cases, this stability and community can provide the foundation for building a better life.

That being said, a low barrier does not mean a low standard. Tenants are required to meet the same standards established by law and in their legally binding lease (including not smoking or doing illegal drugs). An on-site property manager works with the residents and their case managers to help ensure tenants are abiding by the terms of their leases and evicts those tenants who fail to comply. Eviction is the same legal process for 22 North residents as it is for other renters in the state of Washington.
