When moving into a Plymouth apartment, residents are often in need of living essentials like plates and bedding. So all new residents (~150 annually) get baskets with what they need to settle in. Thanks to @DeltaDentalWA's donation, 25 new residents will be welcomed home! 🔑❤️

Do you have trouble understanding homelessness?
Then come hear about it from the mouths of people who experienced it firsthand. Come to Stories About Home on Thursday. st.news/2Kpn6iz

A fascinating look at how Seattle residents old and new view the city's growth. Not a lot of evidence that people think Seattle is dying. Story by @jcohenwrites. crosscut.com/2019/05/how-do-…

“It’s a hierarchy of needs situation—safety and shelter and food...If I’m spending a majority of my energy trying to sustain something on those levels, then how much more energy do I have to do any readings or group work or assignments or papers?" dailyuw.com/wellness/article…

This is not ok. People shouldn’t die because they don’t have shelter. We need BIG investments in housing solutions for people experiencing homelessness. We know that #housingfirst works but need federal investments at the scale of the problems. #OurHomesOurVoices2020
Almost 1,000 people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles died last year.

Weeks ago I got a tip from @danieldevise that an Olympic medalist was homeless in Seattle. I called her family, reached out to friends. No one knew where she was. I let it go.
Two days later, Rebecca Twigg showed up in the Times’ lobby. Here’s her story: st.news/2GnqN5J

“The research is clear: we know housing is inextricably linked to health. It’s time to turn that evidence into a multi-sector campaign to end homelessness.” We couldn’t agree more, @dianeyentel! #HFPC2018 cc @NLIHC

The head of King County's homelessness response agency is stepping down after 4 years in the role. Even though the problem has increased, Mark Putnam says progress has been made. But he says All Home King County needs more authority to actually enforce regional strategies.
