Annual Membership Meeting Highlights
- State Legislative Session Debrief: We were joined by Representative Tarra Simmons, Representative Nicole Macri, and Senator Patty Kuderer, who highlighted only part of the many historic wins from the state legislative session related to
housing and homelessness. We're still processing the deluge of good news and information. We'll cover even more of these historic wins at our
June 17 Membership Meeting. If you want to better understand the changes to housing policies and tenant protections,
register here for Washington Low Income Housing Alliance's Friday, May 28 12 - 2 p.m. webinar on new statewide tenant protections: just cause, right to counsel, and more.
- Public
Benefit Training Interest Survey:
Thanks in part to your advocacy, historic new investments in State and Federal public assistance programs are making their way to our community. Public benefit programs are a lifeline to the people we serve but can be tricky to navigate. The Coalition has
brought on
Sara Robbins, a public benefits attorney and advocate with decades of experience, to help us develop an on-going training series to help you navigate these systems. As we develop these training materials, we want to hear from you and the people you work
with on what would be most useful to your work. Fill out our training needs survey here by
5 p.m. on Friday, 5/28.
- Board of Director Elections: The Coalition on Homelessness is a membership driven organization. Each year, organizations that are current on their membership dues have an opportunity to cast a vote on our slate of Board or Director candidates.
This year, we are honored to introduce the slate of three candidates to serve a three year term on the Board of Directors: Patricia Allen-Dick, Keiko Budech, and Nancy Connolly. Read
about the candidates and board elections here.
