Our Programs

OWL360 takes a holistic approach to helping young people. The Pfeiffer and Parliament House offers affordable housing for young people 18-24 in the uptown area of Port Townsend. The Nest is a welcoming coffeehouse for young people to meet each other, access resources, and gain social and employment opportunities. We believe that creating these environments for young people to choose their own path is the most sustainable and authentic way to support them in their autonomy and brilliance.

The Nest is a Community Coffee House welcoming all ages with programs and events for youth and young adults. It is a place to gather, relax, express yourself, and get connected to resources.


We partner with a local expert who has developed our unique coffee blends with beans that are fair trade and organic. 100% of the proceeds go towards youth and young adult programs. The only non-profit coffee house in town, it is truly a great place to MAKE YOUR COFFEE COUNT!


The Nest team is here to support and advocate for young people. Our Team is available to assist with exploring opportunities for education, employment, community connections, health, and local resources. We have peer allies available to listen and lend support.


Events and activities are informed and guided by the voices of young people. If you have an idea, let us know!

Affordable Housing

OWL360's Affordable Housing Program includes the Pfeiffer House and the Parliament House. This is low income housing for young adults 18-25 who are experiencing homelessness, are at risk of homelessness, or fleeing an unsafe environment. 


Couch Surfing Is Homelessness.


It isn't shameful. It isn't your fault. Couch surfing is one of the most difficult forms of homelessness for us to identify. If you are under the the age of 25 and living with friends or acquaintances, please reach out to us. OWL360 staff will be happy to help you find permanent housing solutions.

*All of us in Port Townsend, live, and work on the traditional lands of the S’Klallam people. We acknowledge the histories of genocide, dispossession and forced removal of indigenous peoples. However, land acknowledgements and statements are only one small part of taking responsibility, therefore we invite you to join us in our commitment to actively support and work for justice for indigenous people.
