Grant Writing

In every nation, city, and small town we as a people recognize that each person deserves some basic fundamental rights. Some of thoses would include food and water, but what I am most concerned about is shelter. Despite the apparent and immediate need for housing in city's like Seattle, many people and families go without sufficient housing. While homes provide the most simple aspect of a person's livelihood, like having a roof over your head, they are also the centers of our worlds, of our existence as a family. Without proper housing, many people lose this sense of connectedness and are at serious risk socially, physically,and psychologically.

What I propose is more funding to non-profits in order to increase the amount of housing that would respond to our city's serious need. With available funds, small pocket communities could be formed throughout Seattle in a way that integrates low-income individuals and families with moderate and high income tenents. By doing so we would create a sense of inclusion and immediate resources to provide happy, healthy, and safe lives.
