.@andyengelson covers a new bill from @CMAndrewJLewis to reduce costs of PSH. “Permanent supportive housing is consistently proven to be the most humane and cost-effective solution to chronic homelessness,” says @thirddoorsea co-founder @ProfSaraRankin https://t.co/sABlPJ3N7b

We urge everyone to read this powerful @evergreenstone article. We are proud of @DESCSeattle staff work to seek to make safety, health, dignity more than words for thousands of people they shelter, assist, house. They seek to provide better services. So should we all. @SEIU1199NW

[DESC @DESCSeattle]

Though DESC’s shelters offer a critical service and are absolutely essential to the survival and well-being of people who aren’t able to be anywhere else, DESC now sees an opportunity to do it in a better way. #housingfirst #endhomelessness

[Third Door Coalition @thirddoorsea]

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.

[Project Homeless @timeshomeless]

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

1000s of people languish in shelters because there’s no #affordablehousing left. Permanent supportive housing is the best way to get someone w/ mental health issues & substance use disorder off the street - Our board member Debbie Thiele of @CSHInfo⁩

When eviction moratorium over it will hit people of color much harder than others, says @ccechohawk. To keep Native people in homes we need $50-$80 million for King County. #HealthThroughHousing
