Did you know our Popsicle Place program serves families with medically fragile children? Unexpected medical expenses are a common risk factor for family homelessness. This specialized team works with our outreach team and local hospitals to connect families with medically fragile children to housing and shelter solutions, providing them safety, stability, and support while their child receives lifesaving care. Popsicle Place Coordinator, Keianna, shares how she serves families in our recent Lunch & Learn video: https://lnkd.in/gNNxPvTV

It's a staggering number!
"1 in 4 Americans worry about becoming homeless. We are far closer to being homeless than we ever are to being part of the billionaire elite that run this country and can influence this court." William Knight, NHLC Decriminalization Director joined Barbara Arnwine on Igniting Change to discuss #JohnsonVGrantsPass and the recent inhumane ruling to criminalize homelessness.

The forecast predicts King County temperatures will continue to soar into the 90s this week. The hot weather hits families and children experiencing homelessness very hard, especially those living in cars and tents. Our shelters are full, but our mobile outreach team is working hard to ensure that families living in cars and tents have the supplies they need to endure these extreme weather conditions. Your donation TODAY will help our outreach team keep families cool and safe during this extreme heat. https://bit.ly/3H60y2d

Here's your reminder! Our Lunch & Learn webinar about the important work of our mobile outreach team is TOMORROW from 12 - 1 pm! Approximately 50 families call the King County Emergency Family Intake Line each day looking for a safe place to come inside. We're only able to offer a shelter bed to just one or two. The rest are sleeping outside in our community. In 2023 the Mary's Place mobile outreach team helped 506 of these families move into housing directly from their cars or tents. Register today to learn more about this incredible team and how you can support their work: https://bit.ly/4cqHD0j
