Byrd Barr Place is a Seattle-based nonprofit in the civic and social organizations sector, founded in 1964. Named to honor civil rights advocate Roberta Byrd Barr, the organization aims to help people help themselves by addressing basic needs and advancing equity in Seattle. Its programs provide home heating and housing assistance, access to healthy food, and personal finance education to establish a stable foundation and reduce poverty. The organization serves residents across Washington state, including Clark, King, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, and Yakima counties. It emphasizes community engagement and partnerships to explore the root causes of poverty and displacement in Seattle. In May 2026, Byrd Barr Place hosted its inaugural Health & Wellness Fair at the Rainier Community Center, bringing together health providers, community organizations, and families.
