Susan Camerer and her husband founded in 1990 Vision House with a personal donation of $800 and a lot of faith. In the beginning they ran the agency out of the basement of their home in Renton. The vision came after viewing a made-for-television movie about a single mother who, through a series of events that were no fault of her own, became homeless. Vision House now operates four facilities (two complexes for homeless families and two homes for men in recovery of drug and alcohol addiction), and a licensed child care facility for 70 children. The agency currently has a 50-member staff and has has served more than 550 men, women and children. For the past three years, 100% of Vision House families have transitioned to permanent housing. Camerer and Vision House have constructed 3 projects in partnership with the Master Builders Care Foundation. An additional facility is now nearing completion.
