About Terry Home
Terry Home began with a mother’s dream to find a home for her then 18-year-old son who survived a TBI in 1984. There were no homes for young TBI survivors other than geriatric nursing homes. So after 10 years of fundraising, grant writing and tears, Terry Home was built and opened in Pacific in 1996.
The need is great. There are 120,000 individuals in the state of Washington alone who have sustained a traumatic brain injury. There is a waiting list of young adults – hoping to have access to housing here locally at Terry Home. Some have been on the list for more than five years.
To help meet that need, the Terry Home, a nonprofit organization, opened its second home in Auburn earlier this year. This facility has become home to 12 more young people, including rooms set aside for returning veterans.
