"Our History" 

     The Matt Talbot Center was founded in 1985 by a small group of businessmen with a vision for solutions to homelessness in Seattle.  Over the years, this group was joined by other men and women of vision and compassion.  The Matt Talbot Center began as a "totally privately" funded program, and has remained true to this commitment.  We receive no operational grants from the government or United Way.  We depend on the support of individuals, businesses and private foundations.

Having begun as a "drop-in" facility, MTC has evolved in to a place for those who are serious about living drug and alcohol free.  Members are provided with the tools and opportunities to restore productivity and self-sufficiency to their lives and to reestablish relationships with their families.

The Matt Talbot Center now ministers to the members through counseling, drug and alcohol treatment services, bible study and prayer, housing and employment assistance, and literacy training
