PorchLight resources Housing counseling | Conflict resolution | The Bulletin Whether or not you wish to apply for housing at SHA, you can speak with a PorchLight housing counselor for individual assistance. Our counselors help clients identify useful service providers and can arrange for interpretation and translation services, and may also provide support in the housing search. To contact a housing counselor, drop by the PorchLight housing center or call 206-239-1737. Or send an e-mail message to HousingCounselor@seattlehousing.org.
