We apologize for the silence. Commitments and other things have gotten in the way for September/October.  Please look for affordable housing, advocacy, and homelessness issues for Seattle/WA State soon. It’s an exciting time for advocacy and true change.

We are celebrating one year of the blog as of October 2015. We are proud to continue covering these issues and more in the coming year.  Thanks again so much for your continued support!

Happy Labor Day 2015 from Housing For Seattle!
