The People’s Harm Reduction Alliance (PHRA) is a community-based nonprofit and drug user empowerment organization that has provided harm reduction and other health services to people who use drugs in the Pacific Northwest since 2007. We currently operate programs in Seattle, Kitsap & King Counties, as well as a mail-order program serving all of Washington State. 

PHRA is passionate about supporting drug users to live their own best possible lives – however they envision and define that, and on their own terms.  Every day for the past 15 years, we have supported folks on their individual paths to stability, independence, and wellbeing. PHRA operates under the assumption that no one knows what drug users need more than drug users. We choose to accept the reality of drug use and to humanize people who use drugs by treating them with love and support, not anger and condescension.  In our view, drug users are better served by compassion and respect than by criticism and punishment.

PHRA strives to serve the needs of the drug-using community by distributing vital harm-reduction supplies within a respectful, non-judgmental context. We also serve our larger communities by providing syringe disposal, naloxone (Narcan) distribution and training, and through our advocacy work.
