The City of Seattle Human Services Department (HSD) is seeking input on the potential development of up to three non-congregate shelter communities. Tiny house villages and enhanced shelter have been effective service models that offer people experiencing homelessness a welcoming place to stay, access to essential services, and a pathway to stable, permanent housing. As Seattle seeks to continue to work for its unsheltered residents, we want to know your ideas for creating non-congregate shelter communities and what community partners are interested in getting involved.
Feedback procured through community engagement will help to inform potential funding opportunities to stand-up, operate, and provide social and behavioral health services in non-congregate shelter communities in which single-adult households are sheltered in their own structure such as a pallet home, pod, or tiny cabin.
Please join us for a virtual Webex meeting to be held on Tuesday, June 22, 2021 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. This event requires registration to receive the event password.
