It seems like this request is from a ccs case manager but last time I checked the minimum wait time for a dv bed for every shelter in the SeaTac area is 9 months.

There's a section on the coordinated entry form that flags someone as being more vulnerable, but that whole process is likely to be too slow without manipulating it - do we have anyone from CCS or AM in here who can pull some strings?

Just saw this request. Perhaps we can consider during steering committee meeting. Any good advice?

Hello everyone,

 

I am in urgent need of shelter for a client who is 33 weeks pregnant (high risk), fleeing domestic violence from GA and she is deaf.  She has a SO.

 

Please help!  I have tried SA, Bethlehem Adams, Helping Hands, etc.

 

Thanks in advance
