Transitioning successfully into adulthood is made possible with support and security - two things that are not available in every living situation. By working together and ending homelessness for young people, we can ensure children can safely move through adolescence and into empowered adulthood. The three story building will provide both short and long term help for at-risk youth age 12 to 24 encountering issues such as abuse, homelessness and being disconnected from family, friends and services.

And he will have to listen to more critics, without being able to punch back verbally — something he revels in doing. And the outcome could go in a direction he really doesn’t want,” said Tim O’Brien, a Trump biographer and critic. The cocoon-like quarters include power outlets, fold-down desks, lighting, and fans, and are larger than similar capsules found in some Japanese hotels. Both houses are fully furnished with shared co-working and living spaces, along with two bathrooms and a shared kitchen. As rents and home prices soar to new heights, one California co-living startup is offering a novel sleeping-pod design to fit more residents into a single-family house. Last but not least is something that you’ve probably stumbled across in the garden.
Often, young people who have experienced homelessness have also experienced generational poverty, family conflict, substance use disorders and/or significant mental health challenges within their family. A disproportionate percentage of the young people we serve identify as LGBTQIA+ and are no longer safe or welcomed at home. Other young people have fallen through the cracks of failed systems that were put in place to protect them. Although each circumstance is different, the lack of affordable housing options plays a major role in making young people and families vulnerable to homelessness. You can learn more about Cocoon House by emailing , and keep an eye out for future events to support youth in our community!

With young adults, parental involvement is no longer a requirement, though they still try to engage with parents whenever possible. Cocoon House’s Outreach team works throughout Snohomish County to conduct street outreach to young people through the age of 24. In addition, young folks can work with an Advocate or check out our Drop-In Center.
The Difference Between a Cocoon and an Egg Case
Cocoon House is a nonprofit organization that values diversity, equity and inclusion for those they serve and those they employ. We can and should work together to break the cycle of homelessness in our community. Talk to someone knowledgeable at your local nursery and garden center, Cooperative Extension Office, or a Master Gardener.
When they know there's someone out there who cares and provides for them, life can begin to feel normal again. This building will combine long term housing for youth both 15 to 17 and young adults 18 – 24 on two separate levels. The young adult rooms are on the third floor and include a small refrigerator and microwave. I quickly used an image search to find similar pictures and voila – cocoon identified!
Do you know that all it takes for a young person to feel supported and cared for is one caring adult? Thankfully, folks who access Cocoon House services have a whole community of caring adults investing in them. In the video above, one of our program managers shares how community support - even if it's behind the scenes - can make such a difference in the life of a young person experiencing instability.
Correct identification of this pest’s bag or egg sac, which also looks like a cocoon, prevented the destruction of my fruit trees. Cocoons can be difficult to spot in the garden – and that’s a good thing! Butterflies, moths and other insects shelter their egg cases and developing eggs in camouflage to ensure the survival of their young. The cocoons themselves are usually spun in colors similar to the foliage upon which they rest to better hide them from the curious gaze of hungry wintertime birds eager for a meal. If you are a young person under the age of 18 and looking shelter and housing, we can help you! We offer voluntary housing options throughout Snohomish County that are safe, welcoming and inclusive of everyone who comes through our door.
Founded as an emergency shelter for youth in 1991, Cocoon House has grown to include a continuum of programs designed to prevent and end youth homelessness. Cocoon House offers short- and long-term housing, street outreach, and prevention services aimed at strengthening families. Together, these programs represent a network of services that improve outcomes for youth and families in Snohomish County. Our comprehensive approach ensures that each young person is met where they are, physically and emotionally. Cocoon House staff can connect with young people and their families throughout Snohomish County, whether it be in their homes, in our programs, schools, or anywhere else in the community.
When it comes to assisting with the youth face-to-face, there are stricter limits on the volunteering opportunities due to confidentiality restrictions. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic Cocoon House provided a broader range of volunteering options, but the timeline for reopening those positions has been slow moving. However, there are plenty of employment opportunities for those looking to get involved.
Cocoon House will sell their other two Everett locations on Pine Street and north Broadway with the proceeds going to fund current and future programs. A small space on the 1st floor has been turned into a music studio. There are more laws and regulations pertaining to the minor group. Parental notification and involvement in Cocoon House’s work with the minor is a large part of that.
Here are the steps for insect identification that I use if I find a cocoon or egg case I don’t know. The youth rooms have a desk and dresser but no kitchen facilities. There are 20 rooms on each floor but the two floors are separate and young adults can’t access the youth floor. Previously when a teen turned 18 they had to leave Cocoon House. Now 20 rooms on the 3rd floor are dedicated for young adults 18-24. If you or a young person you know is struggling with housing instability, family instability or personal crisis, do not hesitate to reach out for help in connecting with the resources you need.
