Will local social service networks successfully rehouse all displaced families before the center's scheduled October closure?

Thrive Center Spokane will permanently close its housing facility at the end of October 2026. The closure follows a decision by the landlord to sell the former Quality Inn building, which has served as a transition site for families since 2022.

Why it matters

The center provided essential housing and stability services for displaced populations in the Inland Northwest for four years. Its closure marks the end of a long-standing local resource that facilitated the transition of hundreds of families into permanent housing.

The facility helped 1,200 families transition to stable housing over four years, maintaining an average of 88 families on-site at any given time. Staff are currently working to rehouse the remaining 19 families before the October 2026 deadline.

The players

Thrive Center Spokane

This organization provided temporary housing and transition assistance for immigrant and refugee families.

Thrive Center Tacoma

This branch serves as an alternative location where some of the remaining families may be relocated.

The details

After the property landlord decided to sell the facility due to financial trouble, the center stopped accepting new applicants. Staff are now working to transition the remaining families into individual apartments while preparing to shift social service operations to a new local partnership.

The center began operations in 2022.
The landlord notified the organization of the pending sale in June 2026.
The housing facility is scheduled to close in October 2026.

Market Landscape

The closure of the facility reflects the broader trend of rising real estate pressures on non-profit housing providers who rely on leased property. This shift complicates local efforts to maintain long-term transition support for families in the competitive Inland Northwest market.

Remaining residents will be transitioned into new housing arrangements, but the closure reduces the available support network for future immigrant and refugee arrivals in Spokane. The center will continue to offer social services through a new partnership after the site shuts down.

The takeaway

Organizations facing unexpected property sales must prioritize early transitions to ensure continuity of care for residents. Families requiring assistance are advised to coordinate directly with staff to navigate the relocation process before the facility closes.
