Overview
Setting up a new home, especially after a crisis, housing transition, or period of instability, requires more than four walls. Beds, tables, chairs, and basic household items make a space livable. For families navigating disability services, low incomes, or housing transitions, furnishing a home from scratch can feel impossible.
The Tri-Cities doesn’t have a dedicated standalone furniture bank, but several organizations provide furniture as part of broader assistance services, and the Habitat ReStore offers high-quality items at a fraction of retail price. This page maps what’s available — and what to expect from each.
Always call ahead, furniture availability varies week to week depending on donations received.

For Families Transitioning Out of Homelessness or Crisis Housing
If your family is transitioning out of emergency shelter, transitional housing, or a domestic violence situation, furniture assistance may be available through specific program pathways:
Community Action Connections (CAC)
CAC’s housing stability programs — including REACH transitional housing and rapid rehousing — sometimes include referrals to furniture assistance as part of the transition support. Contact your CAC case manager or call the main line to ask.
720 W. Court St., Pasco | (509) 545-4042 | bfcac.org
Domestic Violence Services of Benton and Franklin Counties
DVS may coordinate furniture and household setup assistance for survivors transitioning to new housing. Contact your DV advocate to ask what’s available.
Crisis Line: (509) 582-9841
Washington 2-1-1
2-1-1 maintains the most current information on furniture assistance programs including smaller faith-based and community initiatives that aren’t widely publicized. Some church communities run informal furniture assistance networks for families in need, 2-1-1 is the best way to find them.
Dial 211 or visit wa211.org
For Families of Individuals with Disabilities
If your family member is enrolled with DDA and moving into a supported living arrangement or their own home, ask your DDA case manager whether any one-time setup costs, including basic furnishings, may be covered through a waiver service or one-time transition funding. This is not guaranteed but is worth asking about, particularly for individuals transitioning out of a family home or institutional setting into independent living for the first time.

FAQ
Is there a furniture bank in the Tri-Cities I can just call and request items from?
Not a dedicated one, unfortunately. The Union Gospel Mission and Restoration Community Impact are the closest options for free furniture, but availability is entirely donation-driven. The Habitat ReStore is the most reliable source for affordable furniture at low prices.
Can I request specific items like a bed frame or wheelchair-accessible furniture?
Free programs operate on what’s donated and you generally take what’s available rather than requesting specific items. For accessibility-specific furniture needs, the Northwest Access Fund offers low-interest loans that could be used to purchase adaptive or accessible furniture.
What if I need a mattress specifically?
Mattresses are among the hardest items to source through free programs due to health and safety considerations. The Habitat ReStore sometimes carries mattresses. Goodwill and the Salvation Army Family Store are worth checking. For individuals with DDA waivers, ask your case manager whether personal needs funding can apply to a mattress purchase.
Can I donate furniture I no longer need?
Yes, the Habitat ReStore, Goodwill, and Salvation Army all accept furniture donations and may offer pickup for large items. The Habitat ReStore specifically offers free furniture pickup scheduling.
