GET HELP

All MCRC services are available, without discrimination, for all in need. MCRC
does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender,
gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status,
sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.


Community Health Clinic

The MCRC Clinic will be providing telehealth services (free of charge) for those
in need of healthcare services. We will be providing primary care for adults and
children, outpatient neurology, endocrinology, and emotional wellness services.


Scheduling an appointment is easy: please register here and you will receive a

The free medical clinic is catered to meet the needs of those who are unable to
afford the cost of healthcare premiums and copays and those individuals who are
still without access to affordable healthcare.

The MCRC Clinic is a mosque-based free clinic initiated in 2016 under the
Washington Healthcare Access Alliance. It is completely volunteer-operated. 

While we are fully operating via telehealth for the duration of 2022, we plan to
reopen in person in early 2023. If you need in-person services, please consult a
list of free clinics here.

For COVID-19-related inquiries, please call your Primary Care Physician or the
King County Department of Public Health’s COVID-19 call center between 8 AM to 7
PM at 206-477-3977. Staff is available on weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed on
holidays). If you are facing a medical emergency, please call 911.

For more information on the MAPS-MCRC Community Clinic or contact information,
please visit here.

Family relations are an essential building block of society, and Islamic
teachings emphasize the importance of healthy, loving, nurturing and respectful
relationships – especially within the family. Unfortunately, there are times
when we fall short of these teachings. For those facing family conflicts or
issues (whether with spouses, children, parents, siblings, etc.), or those
suffering individual religious problems (crisis of faith, overcoming additions,
etc.), MAPS offers confidential family and counseling services.

For more information, please visit here.


Housing Programs

MCRC has a needs-based assessment process that determines the distribution of
funds and services. It does not use an impersonal formula-based assistance
qualification process.

 * Eviction Prevention: Preventing homelessness costs at least five times less
   than helping a family regain stable housing after it is lost. If a family has
   an eviction notice, MCRC can help provide a portion of the funds needed to
   prevent eviction.
 * Emergency Utility Assistance: Limited funds are available based on funding
   provided by specific cities to assist with utility assistance to clients
   residing in those cities.
 * Refugee Rental Assistance Program: Limited funds are available to provide
   newly arriving refugees with short-term rental assistance.
 * Emergency Motel Stay: Up to 3 nights can be provided at local motels in case
   of emergencies while long term housing options can be arranged. Eligibility
   to this program is determined on a case-by-case basis by our case manager.

All requests for assistance go through common intake and go through rigorous
validation and screening by our case management team. Only upon completion of
the screening and validation is a recommendation made as to the whether the
assistance request is to be fulfilled and the extent to which it is fulfilled.

Our intake process provides us information on the client’s family income, # of
individuals in household, specific family/situation circumstances, demographic
information and other essential information needed to qualify and determine the
level of assistance that is needed.

In addition, we also ask if the client requesting assistance has already
received assistance from any other agency(ies). This data is used to assess the
level of need, the type of assistance and the amount of assistance that MCRC can
provide to the client. We empower our case manager to make decisions on the
amount of assistance disbursed up to $500. Anything over that is reviewed and
needs to be approved by the MCRC Executive Director.

For financial payments made for emergency utility service payment or
homelessness prevention, we try to limit the number of times we assist the
client. There is no pre-determined number. Our decisions are driven case by case
based on the specific circumstances of the client. We feel that that having a
pre-determined restriction on the number of times we assist a client or the $
value of the assistance we provide will not allow us to provide the level of
assistance a client may need to get back on their feet.


DOCUMENTATION NEEDED

MCRC only requires minimal documentation to validate and process financial
assistance requests. Documentation needed to apply for financial assistance
include the following:

 * Proof of Identity
 * Eviction notice
 * Lease agreement
 * Validation of income
 * Any other applicable documentation

The King County HMIS system is also used to verify sources of previous
assistance that the individual/family may have already received from other
agencies.


APPROVALS & PAYMENTS

All approved financial assistance requests are processed for payment and checks
are cut each Friday. In an extremely urgent situation when eviction is imminent,
checks can be cut during the week on an exception basis.

As a policy, MCRC does not make payments to individuals. All approved financial
assistance payments are made directly to the rental agency or landlord.

MCRC deals with several requests for financial assistance each week and the
demand is constantly increasing. While we do our best, we cannot fulfill every
single request for financial assistance or fulfill the request completely.

If the client has a need that cannot be fulfilled by MCRC or can only be
fulfilled partially, our case manager refers the client to other agencies who
may be able to help the client. Our case managers don’t just provide the name
and contact information of the agencies that we refer a client to but they also
take the time to call the agency and introduce the client to them and help the
client with any related paperwork.

Each of the mosques in our community have a Zakat/Sadaqqa fund set aside to help
in such cases.

MCRC can facilitate connections with these organizations and help those seeking
such assistance to comply with paperwork or documentation requirements of such
organizations.

It is only dire circumstances – when families are facing eviction or utility
shut off – when all other resources are unable to help, that MCRC as a resource
of last resort – steps in to help pay the rent and utilities for families
needing assistance.

Transitional Housing for Single Women is one of the key service programs of
MCRC.

Lack of affordable housing has exacerbated the issue of homelessness in the
Greater Seattle area. The problem of homelessness is more acute among vulnerable
demographics such as single women who are unable to find affordable and safe
transitional housing while they get back on their feet. The Muslim Community
Resource Center (MCRC) has been providing transitional housing options that are
socially and culturally appropriate for single women in the Greater Seattle area
for several years now.

We lease and operate 6 transitional housing units in the Greater Seattle area: 4
in Bellevue, 1 in Renton and 1 in Seattle.

The comprehensiveness of our services and the network of our partner
relationships ensures that our clients in our transitional housing programs do
not simply get a place to stay but also get access to adjacent services such as
counseling, legal services, medical and dental clinics, food pantry, vocational
training and mentoring to get them to be self-sufficient as quickly as possible.

Food Programs

MCRC partners with community-based organizations (Muslim & non-Muslim), city &
local services, assistance providers to address issues of hunger and
homelessness in our community.

MCRC serves hundreds of hot meals each month at various shelters and tent city
locations. Additionally we organize food drives and collect non-perishable food
items to local food banks.

Volunteers making and distributing brown bag lunches for the homeless. We
distribute holiday meals for homeless singles and families (including, in 2021,
1,200+ Thanksgiving meals and 850+ Christmas holiday meals).

During Ramadan each year we preparing care boxes containing food staples (rice,
flour, sugar, oil, lentils, etc.) for one month for a family of five, and
delivering to refugee families as well as families in low-income housing. In
2022 we provided over 2,500+ food boxes.

We also provide weekend meals for students in local school districts. We work in
a coordinated manner with other organizations to seek solutions and provide care
for people struggling to find a place to live or food to eat.

Immigrant and Refugee Services

Housing

Partnership established with refugee resettlement agencies as the go-to source
for housing for incoming refugees.

• Ongoing financial support (rent, utilities, food, etc.) for several refugee
families

Household Assistance

• Leased storage space actively being used by Muslim and non-Muslim
organizations to store & distribute household items to refugee families in need

• Weekly collection and distribution of household items to several local

Senior Programs (Golden Times)

We provide services to bring elders in our community together in social settings
so that they can have conversations and enjoy leisure activities together with
others in their peer group.

Our elder care services are geared to alleviate the loneliness and the lack of
companionship that our respected elder feel in this society.

Through conversations, coordinated group activities and social get togethers we
try to bring joy into the lives of our elders and get them to connect/make
friends with other elders in the community.

Legal Clinic

MCRC offers a Free Legal Clinic bi-monthly (online only). All are welcome!

At the clinic, you will have an opportunity to receive a 30-minute consultation

Local Emergency and Disaster Relief

During local emergencies we mobilize our team of volunteers to help those
impacted by the calamity.


WHO WE ARE

The MAPS Muslim Community Resource Center is a social and humanitarian service
organization of MAPS that is dedicated to helping the less fortunate in the
Pacific Northwest community. We partner with other nonprofits (Muslim &
non-Muslim), city and local services, assistance providers to serve those in
need.

MCRC does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender
expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual
orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.




HISTORY OF MCRC

The Muslim Community Resource Center (MCRC) was constituted in 2009 as a
humanitarian platform to bring the Muslim community in the Greater Seattle
together to serve individuals in need. Three primary motivational drivers
inspired our founder, Nickhath Sheriff, to start MCRC:

 1. Increasing Muslim visibility in the Greater Seattle area by working together
    to give back to the extended community. In her involvement with other
    non-profit organizations, such as the American Red Cross, Nickhath saw how
    an organized and coordinated effort brought both sustainable and successful
    outcomes.
 2. To counter the incorrect and negative perceptions of American Muslims in the
    media by highlighting their charitable good work and generosity. Nickhath
    deliberately chose to include “Muslim” in the organization’s name to stress
    that it was followers of Islam that were providing the service.
 3. To increase the scope and reach of aid to more communities by building
    bridges of collaboration and partnerships with other humanitarian service
    organizations. While many local agencies provided humanitarian services,
    many in the Muslim community did not know how to reach out and seek help.
    Rather than reinventing and duplicating services, MCRC intended to leverage
    existing resources and partner with service providers to amplify the
    community’s impact.

After conducting a survey, a small team began curating local resources that met
the community’s needs. Nickhath, her family and a core group of volunteers,
carefully established MCRC, an independent 501c(3) organization. The
organization became a unifying platform for doing good, bringing people from
various mosques across the Puget Sound to serve those in need— regardless of
race, religion, or ethnicity.

MCRC began as a virtual resource center, leveraging space in local mosques,
community centers, and coffee shops to meet with clients and provide services.
Where there were service gaps, MCRC stepped in to offer service coordination and
fulfillment of any unmet needs. The organization was funded exclusively through
individual donations from the Muslim community. And in the years that followed,
MCRC quickly became the go-to Muslim humanitarian organization in the Puget
Sound area with over 200+ volunteers from across the Puget Sound area.

In 2016, MCRC became the social and humanitarian arm of the Muslim Association
of Puget Sound (MAPS), the largest mosque in WA State, and started functioning
as MAPS-MCRC. Joining MAPS allowed MCRC to continue to focus on its mission to
serve people in need while leveraging MAPS’ infrastructure to meet the
increasing administrative and financial accounting aspects of providing its
services.

MCRC was founded on the principles of responsiveness, compassion, and individual
connections with the people that it serves. From the beginning, our goal has
been to embody our prophetic traditions of providing service and support to our
communities.

The passion and dedication of its volunteers are what make MCRC unique. They
will continue to be a guiding force of MAPS-MCRC through the years to come.
