We are a small not-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide permanent supportive housing for chronically mentally ill individuals who are homeless at the time of referral to our program.

Description:
Salem Arms has one part-time and one full-time employees and a seven member board of directors. The board is responsible for oversight and policy decisions that guide the work of the organization. The board also participates in interview with prospective tenants. The board meets every other month. Funding for our program is through a federal McKinney-Vento grant through the City of Spokane, with additional funds from tenant rents, an annuity, and donations.

History:
Salem Arms was created in 1991. We started with one apartment building with 8 tenant units. In 2005 we were approved for a 10 unit expansion and now lease 10 other units from Northeast Washington Housing Solutions for a total of 18 units.
