Riverton Park United Methodist Church
Riverton Park United Methodist Church became ground zero in early 2023 as asylum seekers arrived in large numbers in King County. The church's property became home to more than 500 people living in difficult winter conditions. In response, Riverton Park developed a comprehensive and ongoing network of programs to support newly arriving asylum seekers.
Today, Riverton Park supports new arrivals through case management, legal assistance, emergency shelter, housing navigation, ESL class enrollment, employment support, school enrollment for children, and assistance accessing medical care. Riverton Park’s shelter continues to house about 40 people overnight on its grounds, half of whom are usually children. Its staff includes case managers with lived experience as asylum seekers, an attorney, and a large team of community volunteers who help meet both immediate and long-term needs.
To date, Riverton Park has served more than 5,000 people. Despite growing challenges—including delays in work permits, rising housing costs, and limited rental assistance—Riverton Park is committed to welcoming new neighbors with culturally responsive care and helping asylum seekers build safe, stable lives in their new community. Riverton Park celebrates these new neighbors and takes delight as they settle in and create their path forward.
