Part 3 - Line 4a

WE BUILD FULLY EQUIPPED, HEALTHY HOMES FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. BLOCK HOMES ARE PERMITTED AND PLACED IN HOMEOWNERS' BACKYARDS THROUGHOUT SEATTLE. THIS MODEL GIVES RESIDENTS A PLACE TO CALL HOME AND COMMUNITIES AROUND THE CITY AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE IN SUPPORTING OUR UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS AND ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF HOMELESSNESS TOGETHER. BLOCK HOME RESIDENTS ARE SUPPORTED IN THIS TRANSITION INTO HOUSING BY OUR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS TEAM, WHICH INCLUDES FACING HOMELESSNESS SOCIAL WORKERS AND COMMUNITY COMPANIONS, WHO PROVIDE BOTH FORMAL AND INFORMAL SUPPORT NETWORKS.


CRISIS DIVERSION AND MITIGATION AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION: WE TELL STORIES AND SHARE PHOTOS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WITH THE SIMPLE PURPOSE OF SHOWING THE BEAUTY IN EACH PERSON. FOR THOSE LIVING INSIDE, THIS SERVES AS A SOFT ENTRY TO THE ISSUE OF HOMELESSNESS. IT IS A SMALL STEP TOWARD OVERCOMING THE BARRIERS OF NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES AND FEAR. FOR THOSE LIVING OUTSIDE, IT IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS OVERCOMING FEELINGS OF BEING INVISIBLE. IT CREATES A CONNECTION TO COMMUNITY AND RESOURCES.


DIRECT CLIENT SERVICES - WINDOW OF KINDNESS: THE WINDOW OF KINDNESS IS A PHYSICAL PLACE OF CONNECTION BETWEEN OUR OFFICE AND PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. AT THE WINDOW, WE HAND OUT THOUSANDS OF SOCKS, SLEEPING BAGS, AND OTHER SUPPLIES ESSENTIAL TO STAYING DRY AND WARM. PEOPLE OFTEN STOP BY FOR CONVERSATION AND A LISTENING EAR. EVERYTHING WE GIVE IS A VEHICLE FOR LOVE AND CONNECTION. THE WINDOW OF KINDNESS IS A METAPHOR FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES WE EACH HAVE TO EXCHANGE KINDNESS WITH THOSE IN NEED.
