August 1, 2025 Update: Construction of the New Oasis Youth Shelter is complete! We are hoping to open the shelter to youth in mid-August. Read more about our Celebration of the Skagit Y event at the shelter here.

The Oasis Youth Shelter is a low-barrier, free emergency shelter for 13-17-year-olds facing housing insecurity or homelessness. Teens have a safe place to spend the night, receive individualized case management, and are served hot meals. Oasis is the only shelter serving this age group in Skagit County.

The new, 6,000 sq. ft shelter features the following:

• Space to temporarily house up to 14 youth per night, every night of the year
• All the comforts of home, including full kitchen and common rooms to relax, eat, play, or do homework
• Seven bedrooms with single, double and triple occupancy capabilities
• Laundry facilities dedicated to youth
• ADA accessible rooms and bathrooms for youth and staff
• Added parking for staff and visitors
• Additional space for donations, clothing closets and storage
