Comprehensive Life Resources says it will close Pearl Youth Residence after $3 million in operating losses
Comprehensive Life Resources announced that its 27-bed Pearl Youth Residence in Tacoma will close in November 2026, with 92 permanent layoffs expected. The nonprofit said the youth psychiatric facility had accumulated about $3 million in operating losses since 2020 and that only 2% of its clients during the previous two years came from Pierce County.

Donor relevance
Why this matters
The closure removes specialized residential psychiatric capacity for children, eliminates 92 positions and signals that a major program was financially unsustainable despite substantial prior investment.
Attribution
Who reported or established this
The Puget Sound Business Journal reported the closure and losses based on statements from Comprehensive Life Resources and the organization's workforce-reduction filing.
Evidence limits
What remains unverified
No Halo has not audited the reported $3 million loss, assessed whether reimbursement rates or management decisions caused the deficit, determined the eventual sale or use of the facility, or independently evaluated transition plans for residents and employees.
Right of reply
Organization response
Comprehensive Life Resources said closing the facility would let it refocus resources on Pierce County. It cited continuing losses, low local utilization and difficulty achieving the desired outcomes, and encouraged affected employees to seek other positions within the organization.
