Support Tacoma Community House’s New Building Campaign

Update as of November 2019

The capital campaign is currently at $13.2 million as of November 2019 and the new building is now open!

Construction

In May, TCH Staff and Board Members had the honor of signing the interior walls of the new building.

Embracing the American Promise: Uniting Communities Campaign

At no point in recent history have TCH’s programs for immigrants and refugees been more in demand or more needed.
To better serve our clients and allow for growth, we have embarked upon an exciting $13.6M initiative to construct a new two-story building. We’re almost there, but we need your help!

Why does TCH need a new building?

TCH’s facilities are not adequate to meet current demand for services, nor do they offer sufficient space to accommodate our projected short‐ and long‐term increase in demand:

• Clients must wait 6-10 weeks or more for immigration services, with no space for additional staff.
• Domestic violence victims have no private space in which to receive confidential counseling.
• Employment workshops can only be offered when other classes are on break, due to a lack of classroom space.
• Students have no space to study and/or rest between classes.
• Community members cannot access space to hold meetings or gatherings.
