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.
For one of the largest shelter providers in Seattle, the COVID-19 crisis has spurred a new mission: eliminate large, crowded shelters all together.

"Arresting and jailing people living on the street doesn’t measurably curtail crime...But something did have a significant effect, the newsroom’s analysis found: #housing." Report from @Oregonian = more proof you can't arrest your way out of #homelessness.

Big News: At the beginning of the COVID crisis, people were worried that the disease would explode among the #homeless community. Here's why it did not. It represents the many benefits of giving people a room of their own - health, #publicsafety & more. #HealthThroughHousing

The researchers are presenting the findings at the @wliha conference today. This gives us even more reasons to support #HealthThroughHousing & create 2,000 units of permanent supportive housing in King County. Ask your @KCCouncil member to support it: bit.ly/HealthThroughHousingK…
Exciting day for our community as Hobson Place opens in S Seattle. Operated by @DESCSeattle, it will provide homes for about 90 people who were chronically #homeless. Also coming is a community clinic. ED Daniel Malone leads virtual tour of our newest #supportivehousing.

Congratulations @PlymouthHousing! Our community is on the way to the scale of permanent supportive housing we need to solve #chronichomelessness.
We’re announcing the end of our PROOF Campaign. With the support of nearly 700 individuals, foundations, and corporation, we've raised an incredible $59.1 million.

Must read.
For people in crisis, police are the default response. Few think this is how it should be — including cops. I took a look at the issue in what became a fairly lengthy story: crosscut.com/news/2020/08/pe…

.@seattleoh allocates $60 million for ~600 new units of permanent supportive housing by 2021. "This year’s spending decision is a good start, said Chad Mackay, CEO of Fire & Vine Hospitality & co-chair of the Third Door Coalition, even if there’s a long way to go." #progress
The city of Seattle announced plans today for its largest one year investment to build permanent supportive housing for people who are chronically homeless. Around $60 million from the voter-approved Seattle Housing Levy will be used. seattletimes.com/seattle-new…
Good news that moves us closer to the 4500 new units of permanent supportive housing that we’ve estimated our region needs. Congrats to partners @DESCSeattle @PlymouthHousing & the other orgs working to help solve chronic #homelessness.
In response to the COVID-19 public health crisis, today @MayorJenny announced accelerated investments in 599 new units of Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). PSH is a proven solution to chronic homelessness offering non-time limited affordable housing & supportive services.
