Construction is nearly complete at Bayside Village.
Next week, Seattle's newest shelter community will welcome its first residents. We're proud to help create a safe, dignified place where people can access shelter, treatment, services, and support as they work toward stability.

Thank you @PSBJ for publishing my op ed on the missing piece in the homelessness conversation. Stay tuned for more from us on how we’re mobilizing to bring comprehensive care models to Seattle!

Housing access isn’t sustainable without income. It's the missing piece of Seattle's homelessness response. https://t.co/4TgyyuGwFh

Congrats to Christ Lutheran Church Santa Fe & @thelifelink on 2 years of life-changing service. This article shows the impact of safe, private interim shelter—creating stability, connection, and a path forward.

Accountability isn’t about punishment—it’s about support, clarity, and follow-through. In the second story of our series, we continue exploring how structure paired with compassion can change lives.

Change happens when structure meets compassion. In our new series, hear how real people’s lives were transformed by accountability done right.

Last Thursday, our CEO @AmyKingPallet joined community leaders to break ground on a brand-new Pallet village in Van Nuys, CA — a milestone moment that will bring 100 more beds to support their unhoused neighbors on a journey toward stability.
This project is more than just construction. It’s a reflection of what’s possible when we work together with compassion, urgency, and innovation.

Driven by the commitment of community leaders over the past year, this district has seen a 36% decrease in unsheltered homelessness. This new village will add to their arsenal of solutions.

Councilmember @adrin_nazarian put it best:
“This progress is proof: when we invest in real solutions, we get real change.”

This week, we're shining a light on our Lawrence village! Though it’s been open just over a year, this incredible community has already made a meaningful impact—helping several individuals transition out of homelessness and into stability. We're so proud of the progress and heart shown in Lawrence!

@TheGowher @washingtonpost Swift? The event was 2 years ago. Why did it take 2 years?

Disaster recovery takes weeks or months—not days. But where do families go in between?
Too many communities lack safe, stable recovery shelter. Learn how modular solutions like Pallet shelters are changing that in our blog: https://t.co/XEIQ1d2WpB

We’re back in Tampa! ☀️
This week, our team is building 90 additional Pallet shelters to expand the original 100 units we installed in 2021 at the @TampaHope shelter.

A huge THANK YOU to @CatholicCharities for the incredible work you do to bring hope and dignity to community members in need.

This is what happens when communities come together to serve and support each other. Pallet is so proud to partner on this project.

Our first official site in the great state of Texas!

Transformation Park opened in Amarillo last weekend with a powerful message: when a community chooses to care out loud, real change happens.
Built in partnership with local leaders and volunteers, this Pallet shelter village offers dignity, safety, and a true path forward.

The Pallet team was in Tallahassee this week to meet with Florida leaders on emergency response solutions. Grateful for the chance to visit with Speaker-Designate Rep. Sam Garrison and Rep. Sam Greco who are championing innovative solutions to these challenges!

It’s great to see change happening in Denver! Mayor Mike Johnston @denversmayor changed zoning laws and launched All In Mile High to get thousands off the streets. The result: thriving micro-communities built with @PalletShelter—and a new standard for what cities can do.

Homelessness is not just a housing crisis. It is a community crisis.
Real solutions must address trauma, addiction, and isolation—starting with connection.
