Don't miss our op-ed with the Lived Experience Coalition in this week's @RealChangeNews, and vote YES on Prop 1 to renew the Seattle Housing Levy.

Safe, stable housing is a basic human necessity. It will take all of us to prevent and end homelessness.

Great @seattletimes story on the Seattle Housing Levy!

"You can’t go to work every day at 9am if you’re living in a tent... You just need that level of stability.” Read Nick & Steven’s story from @guardian https://t.co/XvKdNMr8hD

Housing First means housing *plus* services. It addresses the greatest and most impactful need first—safety and stability—and then facilitates supportive services to meet other needs.

So proud to be the @TheStranger endorsed candidate in the district I love! Let’s build progressive power and deliver a better, more just and sustainable world together!!

[We Are In @WeAreInKingCo]

The @seattletimes agrees: Vote YES by August 1 to renew #KingCountyProp1!

The levy will protect and expand services for veterans, seniors, gender-based violence survivors, and people with disabilities.

Washington workers making minimum wage should not struggle to afford a place to live. We need affordable homes to prevent homelessness.

So—what needs to happen in order to reach functional zero?

[King County Regional Homelessness Authority @KingCoRHA]

In addition, people in our community are becoming homelessness at a higher rate than our local system can move folks inside.

[King County Regional Homelessness Authority @KingCoRHA]

Our goal to reach functional zero means that we need to create a system where for every person that becomes homeless, we have enough resources to serve them promptly and effectively. 🧵

We believe, ultimately, homelessness and housing are inextricably linked, and there is no end to homelessness without more affordable, permanent housing.

Housing. The next thing we want to be built is more housing.

[We Are In @WeAreInKingCo]

Housing first ≠ Housing only.

A Housing First approach prioritizes housing people experiencing homelessness. It is guided by the belief that one cannot begin to improve their quality of life without basic necessities.
