Community Partners
In addition to Neighborhood House services and our partner services within the High Point Center, there are a multitude of agencies and programs in the surrounding community that are critical to the overall success of our work.
Neighborhood House was careful not to duplicate services already offered in the community. Planning began years ago to make sure the High Point Center is a crucial piece in completing the service puzzle for what types of programs are needed in West Seattle’s High Point community.
Neighborhood House is committed to working with the following agencies to combat poverty and empowering the residents of High Point.
Seattle Housing Authority
Established 70 years ago, Seattle Housing Authority provides long-term rental housing and rental assistance to tens of thousands of people every year in the city of Seattle. The agency owns and operates buildings on more than 400 sites throughout the city, and owns the majority of the land in High Point.
Neighborcare Health
Neighborcare Health is the leading provider of primary medical and dental care to low-income and uninsured patients in Seattle. Each year they care for 46,000 people at 17 medical, dental and school-based clinics. Neighborcare Health runs both a medical clinic and a dental clinic across the street from the High Point Library, two blocks from the High Point Center.
West Seattle Food Bank
Since 1981, the West Seattle Food Bank has worked to eliminate hunger in West Seattle — providing food and other basic supplies, plus education and referral services to neighbors in need. In addition to providing food, the food bank also works to eliminate the root causes of hunger by educating clients on nutrition, generating public awareness of hunger and coordinating a range of community services for clients. The food bank is located two blocks from the High Point Center.
SafeFutures Youth Center
The mission of SafeFutures Youth Center (SFYC) is to create a caring extended family atmosphere at a center that provides the highest quality services, in order to fully develop the potential of everyone who enters through our doors.

The Open Space Assocation maintains the parks, open spaces and natural drainage system within High Point.
