Here is a roundup of some of the stories I have been working on in the past year, many of which will have implications for the region’s response to homelessness in the future.

John Crolla did not remember much following a stroke he suffered at the beginning of this year. He lost his home, his car, and his dogs and was discharged from the hospital into a homeless shelter.

Here is my latest story:

He lost everything after a stroke. Here’s how he wound up in a Tacoma homeless shelter https://t.co/C2AH9SJqnB

Tacoma Housing Authority’s largest project in 20 years looks to directly address displacement from gentrification in Hilltop by prioritizing those who have historically lived in the neighborhood. Here is my story on it: https://t.co/cKUdd6iIXa

[Stephanie Pedersen @stephdpedersen]

Devastated. Heartbroken. And incredibly sad. For Matt’s family. For Tacoma. For our @thenewstribune newsroom. For everyone that knew him and read his work. An incredible loss for all of us. https://t.co/EmghmjceI0

I requested records from the WA Dept of Licensing regarding revenues/funds collected from the Climate Commitment Act gas tax and was quoted $2 MILLION for one method of retrieving those documents, to be released over two years.

This new source of funding is estimated to help create a collective 1,700 units of affordable units over the next six years, but two years ago the county said it would need 2,300 per year to keep up with demand.

[Cameron Sheppard @Camsheppy]

A new sales tax in Pierce County will triple the amount of revenue available for affordable housing, but even with additional funding officials don’t expect the region to be able to keep up with the need identified in the Housing Action Strategy. https://t.co/cjikM7hNwu

If anyone can make sitting and reading in public cool, it's Umi.
