Non-profit org. building dignified, transitional tiny homes to address the crisis of unsheltered homelessness in Seattle and King Co. - 550+ homes and counting!

Let's take a lesson from medical professionals who work to immediately save patients' lives by addressing most pressing needs first. AND ALSO, let's have a long-term strategy for returning our homeless neighbors to full health. #tinyhomesforthehomeless

Frank was a leader who really cared if people had health care and a roof over their heads—and he did everything in his power to lift families out of poverty.

My thoughts are with his family and loved ones. He will be missed greatly by everyone who knew him.

We're moving folks out of tents, encampments, and rv's and into warm, safe, and dry spaces while they await housing. Thanks for keeping our homeless neighbors in mind with your year-end philanthropy!

@Reubensbrews Thanks for being a part of the solution @Reubensbrews! Look forward to having you back building again soon.

#GivingTuesday isn’t just about donations. Our volunteers have donated almost 100,000 hours to build #tinyhomesforthehomeless WOW! Gifts of time, advocacy, social shoutouts, even notes of gratitude are all ways to support the nonprofits making a difference in your community!

This year, #GivingTuesday coincides with some of the coldest weather of the year so far. Thanks for keeping our homeless neighbors in mind.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Did you have to throw away food after last week's power outtage, that you bought with SNAP benefits? Guess what, it's replaceable!

[WashingtonStateDSHS @waDSHS]

Did the recent bomb cyclone knock out your power? Did the food you bought with SNAP benefits spoil as a result? Good news! You can file a claim to replace that food within 10 days of its loss. Call 877-501-2233, visit a Community Services Office, fill out the Basic Food Affidavit Replacement for Household Disaster form, or provide a written attestation. Find the steps for requesting replacement benefits on our website: https://t.co/CbNPDfEDy4

You can also request replacement benefits at a mobile office event. Our teams have been on the road throughout Washington, meeting folks where they are in the aftermath of the severe weather. Find an event near you.

Lots of great causes to consider this year, but supporting our #tinyhomesforthehomeless during #GivingTuesday2024 will actively move people off the streets! Donate here, and your gift will be doubled: https://t.co/w2DHSxijia Thx!

#GivingTuesday2024 starts soon, thanks for keeping our homeless neighbors in mind.

US Interagency Council on Homelessness @USICHgov, @HUDgov, @DeptVetAffairs announced that veteran #homelessness dropped to lowest level since data begins in '09. #HomelessnessIsSolvable if you believe it is and have a plan. #tinyhomesforthehomeless https://t.co/iK5Ck3N6sX

Sweeps without alternatives are not a solution. In Seattle/King Co., #tinyhomesforthehomeless are the most successful, most desirable, and most affordable alternative to tents, encampments, and rv's.

[Nicole Santa Cruz @nicolesantacruz]

This year, @ProPublica has been looking into the impacts of cities increasingly removing or “sweeping” encampments. We spoke with 135 people who had experienced sweeps. We also distributed notecards so people could write about it in their own words. 🧵

[Sound Foundations NW @SFNW_tinyhomes]

Hard to believe, but #GivingTuesday2024 is just four weeks away! Our volunteers have collectively donated nearly 100,000 hours to build more than 550 tiny homes since we began in 2018. Thank You!! Early giving starts on Nov. 19. #tinyhomesforthehomeless #warmsafeanddry
