We urge everyone to read this powerful @evergreenstone article. We are proud of @DESCSeattle staff work to seek to make safety, health, dignity more than words for thousands of people they shelter, assist, house. They seek to provide better services. So should we all. @SEIU1199NW
Though DESC’s shelters offer a critical service and are absolutely essential to the survival and well-being of people who aren’t able to be anywhere else, DESC now sees an opportunity to do it in a better way. #housingfirst #endhomelessness

For one of the largest shelter providers in Seattle, the COVID-19 crisis has spurred a new mission: eliminate large, crowded shelters altogether. st.news/36ZDKyT
Spoiler alert: To eliminate large, crowded shelters, as our partner @DESCSeattle is advocating, we need a better option. And for people experiencing chronic #homelessness, the best option is permanent supportive housing. @evergreenstone explores why this approach works so well.
