Recap: General Meeting and Street Drugs 101 Case Manager Training – June 18,2015
June 23, 2015 by Rebecca Roy
TAKING ACTION at the General Meeting — making calls to our lawmakers!
What a meeting! Among the friendly faces were representatives from SHARE, YWCA, Plymouth Housing Group, Housing Development Consortium, Child Care Resources, Compass Housing Alliance, Housing Justice Project, Hopelink, REACH/Evergreen Treatment Services, North Helpline, Catholic Community Services, Recovery Cafe, Washington Low Income Housing Alliance, Jewish Family Services, Aridell Mitchell Home (Goodwill Development Association), Washington Family Counseling Service, ROOTS, YouthCare, El Centro de la Raza, Multi-Service Center, Year Up, and 2-1-1.
Following the General Meeting, representatives from even more organizations and community members joined us for our Street Drugs 101 + Naloxone + Related Laws training.
Both were informative meetings – Here's a brief recap . . .
[Psssst! Don't miss out in the future — add our General Meeting dates to your calendar.]
June 18, 2015 General Membership Meeting Report-back
Smoking Ban update – On Thursday, May 28, the Board of Park Commissioners voted unanimously (8-0) to pass a smoking ban in Seattle Parks. This ban will take effect 30 days after the vote, likely beginning in July. While this is still a disappointing outcome, it's important to remember the impact of our collective action. By speaking up with many community members and organizations, we were able to influence the removal of the $27 citation, ensure a "Right to Dispute" be made available, and see to it that there is oversight of enforcement. An emphasis of education is also a feature of this policy. Read the Seattle Parks and Recreation's release about the new smoking ban.
Now, we all have continued work to do to ensure that what is "in writing" is put into action, and that whatever plays out is brought to light. This means we need you, your colleagues, your friends and family, and, certainly, the people you serve who are (likely) most impacted by this policy to keep us informed about how the implementation and enactment of this policy plays out! Remember: the relationships we've formed with folks at Seattle Parks is part of the reason our advocacy is effective. When you speak up, people listen! Keep us informed by calling 206.204.8350 or by emailing us at speakup@homelessinfo.org.
Coalition Updates —
The voter registration deadline for the August 4th primary is Monday, July 6! Help people you work with register to vote and make sure that your/their registration is current (download our flyer below). While it may not be a presidential election year, this year's elections are very important because half of the King County Council and all nine of the Seattle City Council are up for reelection! These are the people who most directly affect our daily lives in Seattle and King County and since Seattle is re-districting, it's a big year and important for everyone who is eligible to vote. Use our Homeless Voters' Information guide to guide the process – the information about registering applicable, though the dates are for the last election. Visit our blog for more details and tips.

TAKE ACTION: KC Alliance for Human Services call to action: http://kingcountyalliance.com/mobilize-the-time-is-right-now/
Legislative Special Session #2: The Good/Bad/Ugly/Take — Folks, there is a real possibility of a state government shutdown. Why? Because there's an important hold out — for a fairer budget that prioritizes housing and basic needs. Here are some call-outs:
At least $80 million for HTF, $100 million for affordable housing
HB 2263 will allow local communities to raise the funds necessary to help create more affordable homes and maintain valuable mental health services.
Restore cuts to families receiving TANF benefits. I urge you to make sure that the final budget restores at least 9% of the 15% cut from TANF grants, and fully funds State Food Assistance.
Support our 2-1-1/ WA Telephone Assistance Program / Community Voicemail systems. Please make sure $1M in funding for 2-1-1 is included in the final budget.
Just as we did at the meeting, we encourage you to TAKE ACTION and contact your lawmakers, the Governor, and Sen. Andy Hill to share your support. Use (and spread!) this TAKE ACTION FLYER to send this important message to the folks who impact these last days of the 2nd Special Session the most.

June 18, 2015 Street Drugs 101 + Naloxone + Related Laws Training
Presenter Kris Nyrop teaches us about trends in Street Drugs
Presenters Kris Nyrop (Defenders Association) and Mark Cooke (ACLU) led us through some pretty murky and at times complicated territory. Here are some highlights:
The United States leads the world in opiate use. We may just be 5% of the world's population, but we responsible for over 90% of all opiate consumption.
Trends (over time) in drug use are very cyclic, and we're currently in the midst of an amazingly high period of opiate overdose.
There's no such thing as one-size-fits-all treatment. Drugs don't effect everyone in the same way, though there are behavioral trends for certain types of drugs.
Naloxone (Narcan) will stop an opioid overdose in its tracks for 30-90 minutes, which gives enough time to keep someone breathing and to be transported to the ER. Naloxone is NOT addictive – it only serves one purpose: to stop overdose. It's literally saving people's lives and allowing them the option to work towards recovery. To get information, training, policy implementation materials, etc, about Naloxone. visit our locally-based friends and experts at StopOverdose.org. Are you a University District local? Contact Joe Tinsley at the Needle Exchange (joe.tinsley@kingcounty.gov; 206-477-8275)
Good Samaritan Law and Naloxone Bill — A person acting in good faith may receive a Naloxone prescription, possess, and administer Naloxone. Anyone who seeks medical assistance for themselves or on someone's behalf cannot then be arrested for being under the influence of or having small amounts of illegal substances on their person. However, they can be arrested if they have outstanding warrants, or if they have what appears to be (or is) a commercial operation of producing or selling drugs (for example: lots of plastic baggies, scales, substances). There is grey area because neither the Good Samaritan Law or the Naloxone law have yet to come up in a court case; boundaries have not (yet) been tested.
Missed the meeting? Here's a copy of Kris's Street Drugs 101 presentation for you to download and share.
An important part of the training was the group discussion of how organizations have integrated – partially or fully – Naloxone into their work place. The range of experience was great, and still many staff said their organizations had yet to tackle Naloxone use/training, or had much to improve upon. For example, one organization said staff were trained but few knew where the Naloxone kit was actually kept.
Questions to bring back to your organization include:
Do we have a Naloxone Policy? If not, let's set that up!
Are staff regularly trained? If not, let's set that up!
Can staff possess Naloxone, even if it's their own personal prescription?
Do all staff, interns, volunteers, program participants know who has Naloxone training? Have we communicated this clearly in other, visible ways (e.g., signs)?
Have we trained all staff, interns, volunteers, program participants on Naloxone use?
Does everyone know where the Naloxone is located? Is there always a person in the room who has access to it throughout hours of operation?
Are the people who have access to Naloxone the people that program participants go to in case of an emergency?
Have we made it clear that Naloxone is accessible at our site? How can we create an environment that says, "You can come to us for help! We've got your back."

Recap: SAAC June Meeting: VA TriWest Homeless Women Veteran Initiative
June 17, 2015 by Hillary Coleman
Susan Christ joined the Single Adults Advocacy Committee to talk about the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) new program in partnership with TriWest Healthcare Alliance. This program is a public-private partnership that will connect women Veterans who are homeless or at risk of being homeless with meaningful, stable employment.
Here's what Susan shared about the program!
In partnership with VA, TriWest Healthcare Alliance identifies employment opportunities by working closely with female Veterans with children to match their interests and skills with employers who value these qualities and recognize that our nation's Veterans are ideal job candidates. Our benefits advisors will meet any referred veteran in the community or at a partner organization's facility to obtain necessary referral information and begin services to the veteran.
Through a public/private partnership between the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and TriWest Healthcare Alliance, we can assist female veterans with a variety of services and benefits Services include but are not limited to:
Assistance with obtaining military records
Connecting eligible veterans with healthcare, housing and compensation or pension benefits
Job coaching
Placement with partner employers who have committed to supporting the TriWest Homeless Women Veterans Initiative
Peer mentor support after job placement to ensure job retention
Close coordination with local employers to identify opportunities
One-on-one, specialized interaction with female Veterans to assess skills and employment goals
Continued services by VA including housing assistance and healthcare
Referral Information:
View the referral form, request for release of information and initiative fact sheet. Susan Christ mentioned that you may not have all of the information requested on the referral form, but it is fine to just fill in what information you do have and make the referral, they can fill in the blanks as they work with the veterans. Also, the release of information form can be obtained from the veteran by our benefits advisors at their first meeting with the veteran, so it is not absolutely necessary that this form is complete when the referral is made. If emailing referrals, please only include the referred individual's first name and last initial.
You can direct emails and referral forms to: veteransemploymentvbaco@va.gov.

Recap: Coalition's General Membership Meeting — May 21, 2015
May 26, 2015 by Rebecca Roy
You packed the room at our May 21 General Membership Meeting. Among the friendly faces were folks from Farestart, Sound Mental Health, Community Lunch on Capitol Hill, Harborview, City of Redmond, Housing Development Consortium, Hopelink, 2-1-1, Solid Ground, Seattle Community Law Center, Compass Housing Alliance, ROOTS, Catholic Community Services – Aloha Inn, Jewish Family Services, YearUp, Lake City Taskforce on Homelessness, Real Change, Global to Local, City of Seattle Human Services Department, Seattle Parks Department, resident of Pioneer Square, UW Center for Pediatric Dentistry, 45th Street Youth Clinic (Neighborcare), Low Income Housing Institute, REACH, UW Law School, YWCA Landlord Liaison Project. This broad representation from our member organizations and community as a whole helped facilitate important, timely dialogue with Seattle Human Services Department Director and Deputy Director as well as Acting Parks Superintendent.
Here's a brief recap . . .
I. Discussion with Director Catherine Lester & Deputy Directors Heidi Albritton
Catherine stared by sharing her background, starting at age 4, to help us understand her motivations, perspective, and reasons why she does what she does. She has five over-arching focuses/goals for HSD:
Results. Generate results that are measurable, and that increase equity and decrease disparity. Measures vary, and need to be properly applied (e.g., quality vs performance vs outcome).
Public Stewardship. HSD has had audit findings each year for the last four years. This isn't good for many reasons, two of which are: 1) calls the question about whether HSD can do the job, and 2) risks money that flows to providers.
Preferred Employer. Create a working environment that is positive and productive. This absolutely includes ensuring that providers have better, positive experiences working with HSD staff.
Innovation.(Let's continue to honor innovations that already exist.) Spoke specifically towards "regionalism." While this means different things to different people, Catherine wants to get a clear working definition that places Seattle as a part of a whole, and recognize that many other cities look to Seattle for their next steps. What we do matters to more than just Seattle because Seattle is a Regional City.
Prepare for Future Differently. Capacity gaps both within our provider network and within provider agencies exist and those must be addressed to move forward effectively. Capacity gaps include, but are not limited to: data and evaluation, fiscal, employee.
II. City of Seattle's Homelessness Investments and HSD plans going forward
[Link to Homelessness Investment Analysis]
Aimed to be City of Seattle-specific context setting to benefit Mayor Murray's understanding of his department. The City of Seattle has ~$40 million annual investment in homelessness programs, and yet we still witness, each year, an uptick of people in need. Here's what's on the table to address:
Service Models: intervention, prevention
Funder issues: "I wish these funders would get their stuff together" is a common, known sentiment among providers.
Efficiency in how HSD contracts: 550 contracts with 200 unique organizations is not healthy nor sustainable. Must get a handle on this.
Data and Evaluation Capacity: HSD needs to allow organizations to make use of the data they submit, and HSD needs to make visible how data is used
Other mentionable points of discussion: 1) evaluate and, when appropriate, scale pilots, and 2) system readiness and capacity, both within HSD system and in our community (of providers)
Highlights from open Q&A: Pilot time frame; existing metrics that concern HSD; gaps in provider network; Safe Harbors (tabled this discussion); Outcomes, especially for shelters; coordinated entry systems; Partnership among HSD and providers re: planning; Quality of service – trainings for people from a variety of different backgrounds (i.e. someone with a record might not have the education we typically say is required for a job, but has the experience – provide training in such situations to make sure people's potentials are being reached & experience is brought in).
III. Being Homeless in Public: Implications of the proposed Seattle Parks Smoking Ban
Facilitation convo w/ remarks from Acting Parks Superintendent Christopher Williams and Susanne Rockwell
Overwhelming response regarding impacts of the proposed Seattle Parks smoking ban. In response, Parks will:
Eliminate citation ($27)
Create citizen advisory committee (approx. 5 people), whose purpose is to monitor enforcement data more regularly (e.g., every 90 days)
Create a quasi-appeals process (e.g., "right to dispute")
Partner with Seattle/King County Public Health to connect folks with education about smoking and cessation programs.
Superintendent Williams stressed that the smoking ban will not result in the banning people from parks, which is in line with, and reinforces, changes to Parks policy in 2012. One could, after many warnings and couple with more egregious behaviors, be arrested; however, said person would never be banned from the park. Williams mentioned that he doesn't think they will see people being arrested after 2 warnings because they will feel peer pressure to not smoke. Also mentioned Parks needs to educate about where people can smoke (sidewalks/public domain).
Principle surrounding the ban of smoking is similar to the ban on public consumption of alcohol and amplified sound.
Final vote will happen at May 28 Parks Commissioner meeting. Public comment will not be heard at this meeting, but all are welcome to attend (and submit written comment!). This vote is a recommendation to the Mayor to pass or not pass ban – then a letter is sent to the City Clerk and there is a 30 day pause on implementation.
Highlights from open Q&A: Exclusions Vape Pens and E-Cigs; Existing 25-foot rule; Discussion of Seattle Police Department enforcement and training; How citations would work; Success in other cities? Boulder, Colorado did this and it's not going well; If we see a disproportionate effect on people who are homeless and unstable housed, then what's next to fix?
IV. Good/Bad/Ugly/Take Action Updates: Olympia and (Seattle) Linkage Fee
Legislative Updates . . . Robin Zukoski, Columbia Legal Services
There is a different dynamic in Olympia this year, and that's a good thing. True, we still have much advocacy work to do to build stronger programs over the coming years, and to ensure that the final compromise budget is a stronger one.
HEN/ABD – no proposed cuts this year, and that's a win (even if it doesn't quite feel that way). However, you need to contact your legislators and Department of Commerce to tell them the importance of HEN and the ways in which it needs to be strengthened in order to serve more people and serve all people better. And be sure to stay tuned because there's concern that Legislators may try to fund other programs by gutting HEN/ABD. We'll be sure to alert you as soon as Robin sends us the word to take action.
TANF is not faring well, and needs our advocacy to ensure that final budget compromise increases supports for TANF and the families and children who benefit.
WTAP/Community Voicemail, 2-1-1 Funding: good advocacy campaigns are in motion. Continue to send Legislators your cards, letters, and love notes about the importance of this program. They simply don't understand it's value and that people depend upon it.
Homeless Students Stability Act is still in play this special session. Everyone agrees on the concept, but many disagree on the money component. Stay tuned for a TAKE ACTION alert.
Housing Trust Fund: $80M is our target number at this point, but it's not a done deal. Stay tuned for a TAKE ACTION alert.
This was a GREAT year for Youth-specific issues. See Coalition's blog posts about the big wins.
Linkage Fee Updates . . . Kayla Schott-Bresler, Housing Development Consortium
Learn more and sign the petition at growingtogetherseattle.org.
"Seattle is growing rapidly. Despite our work towards building a great city, the benefits of major growth and investment are not shared by everyone. We must act soon to keep modest-wage workers and their families from being forced to move away from our vibrant city because housing costs are too high."
"An affordable housing linkage fee is a tool that can help Seattle remain a place for people of all incomes to prosper in place. A linkage fee is a per square foot fee on new development to mitigate the increased demand for affordable housing caused by that development. It's time to follow in the footsteps of cities across the country and adopt a strong affordable housing linkage fee program."

2015 Legislative Session Updates: On to Special Session
February 23, 2015 by Hillary Coleman
And it's a wrap (but not really). The 2015 Regular Legislative Session ended on Friday 4/24, but the House and Senate have yet to agree upon a budget, so a special session will start on Wednesday, 4/29.
We are happy that Extended Foster Care, the YEAR Act, the Homeless Youth Act, and the King County Bonding for Affordable Housing all passed! Unfortunately a number of our bills did not pass, as happens each session since only a limited number of bills can even be brought to vote. These bills will be re-worked in the break until the 2016 legislative session and be reborn and hopefully pass in 2016. Your phone calls, postcard signing, and advocacy have been significant and continue to be vital moving forward in the Budget process.
Budgets from the House and Senate were both released in mid-April. See below for more details. The House and Senate will have to work together to agree upon a balanced budget. We are glad the House and the Governor both provided for revenue in their budgets, however the Senate did not. We encourage you to ask your legislators to "Please ensure the final budget raises new revenue and invests at least $110 million in affordable housing."
Please check out our tracker below and note the status of bills you have been tracking. Keep on making calls, fill out and send in a new postcard, and staying tuned for action alerts – Sign up for Coalition Action Alerts here!
Take 5: call the Legislative Hotline to leave a message for your representatives and let them know what bills you support and also urge them to invest $100 Million in the Housing Trust Fund. These bills and budget asks are crucial to helping people experiencing homelessness in our community. Hotline Number: 1-800-562-6000 – real (and kind) people answer the phone! Hotline Hours: Monday-Friday 8am-8pm
Here are some budget ask messages from the Washington Low Income Housing Alliance to use while making your weekly call to your two representatives and senator in Olympia:
Please ensure the final budgets passed by the legislature match the House's proposed operating and capital budgets.
Please ensure the final budget raises new revenue and invests at least $110 million in affordable housing.
Please also fund the Medicaid permanent supportive housing services benefit.
And thank you for protecting vital safety net programs like HEN, ABD, and SSI Facilitation.
KEY LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES updated 4/28/2015:
Please use this table to see the progress of bills that are part of our Legislative Priorities throughout the 2015 Legislative Session. For further information about bills and links to one-pagers please scroll below the table. Note that many bills are in both the Senate (SB) and House (HB) and therefore have their own rows in the table. Feel free to sort!
KEY BUDGET PRIORITIES updated 4/28/2015:
State Housing Trust Fund:
Invest $100 million to create good homes and local jobs through our State Housing Trust Fund
Governor's Budget: $100 million for affordable housing
House Budget: $110.2 million for affordable housing
Senate Budget: $87.8 million for affordable housing – ask Senators to match the house investment of $110.2 million
Housing & Essential Needs (HEN), Aged, Blind, & Disabled (ABD) and SSI Facilitation
PROTECT Crucial Programs & Prevent Homelessness for disabled and elderly Washingtonians: Maintain Housing & Essential Needs (HEN), Aged, Blind, & Disabled (ABD) and SSI Facilitation at current funding levels. Seniors and people with disabilities must be able to meet their basic needs and access recovery resources.
In all three budgets (Governor, House, Senate), HEN/ABD/SSI Facilitation funding was maintained – not cut, but also not increased.
RESTORE the 15% cut to Families receiving TANF:
Washington's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) system provides struggling families with children a modest cash grant to help meet their basic needs, such as housing, clothing, and health items. Many in our communities rely on this vital program to put food on their tables and provide for their children.
During the 2011 Legislative Session, the TANF cash grant was reduced by 15%. It is high time to take action and RESTORE the 15% cut from 2011. This will increase the grant for a family of 3 from $478 to $562, providing critical resources to our poorest families.
Columbia Legal Services TANF information
Governor's budget did not restore or cut the grant.
House Budget: Did not restore the grant, did not cut either. Added $25 million for other important TANF programs.
Senate Budget: cuts TANF by $50 million, does not restore the 15% cut from 2011.
REVENUE (Thank you to the Washington Low Income Housing Alliance for details about revenue in the budgets!)
Legislators must include new revenue, not more cuts, in the budget! Over the past four years, the legislature has cut over $10.5 billion, but has increased revenue by less than $1 billion. As the state House & Senate work to balance the budget for the next two years, programs and services that support the most vulnerable members of our communities are again on the chopping block. Since the Great Recession hit in 2008, we have cut more services than at any time in our state's history. These cuts damage our state's ability to create jobs and recover from the recession, and they balance the budget on the backs of people who already struggle the most.
Governor's Budget: Raises about $1.4 billion in new revenues. His cap & trade plan allocates money to the Housing Trust Fund.
House Budget: Raises about $1.5 billion in new revenues. While the House budget doesn't include the Governor's cap & trade plan, it it does raise new revenues from a Capital Gains Tax, closes tax loopholes, and expands the B&O tax to professional services. Check out the Washington State Budget & Policy Center for details.
Senate Budget: Does not raise new revenue. Rather the budget achieves savings from cuts to programs, cuts to state worker compensation, LEAN management savings, and Commerce & DSHS departments, etc. Commerce is subject to cuts, although not necessarily to the department that oversees our programs.
Medicaid Permanent Supportive Housing Services
With a Medicaid Supportive Housing Services Benefit, supportive housing providers could bill Medicaid for supportive services provided to eligible residents. This would allow more chronically homeless people to access services, improve the integration of behavioral and health care, and would help individuals with severe and chronic health issues stay off the street and live in a healthy home.
Governor's Budget: Not funded
House Budget: $100,000 for Department of Social and Health Services staff costs to implement waiver
Senate Budget: Not funded
Homeless Youth Act Funding
House Budget: Fully Funds HYA at $784,000
Senate Budget: Appears to provide more funding, analysis needed
Extended Foster Care Funding
House Budget: Funded!
Senate Budget: Funded!
Homeless Student Stability Act Funding
The Homeless Student Stability Act passed out of the House, but did not pass in the Senate. However, the House budget gave $2 million of funding to implement the act. Call on your Senators to change their budget to include funding for HSSA!
House Budget: $2 million for Homeless Student Stability Act
Bills Passed in 2015 Legislative Session:
PREVENT Youth Homelessness:
Pass the Youth Equality and Reintegration (YEAR) Act (HB 1481 / SB 5564), allowing youth who made non-violent mistakes to access housing and employment;
HB 1481 (Kagi) Status: DEAD SB 5564 (O'Ban) Status: PASSED!
Extend Foster Care (HB 1735 / SB 5740) for youth with significant medical conditions so that these individuals have a safe place to stay while transitioning to adulthood;
HB 1735 (Orwall) Status: PASSED! SB 5740 (Fain) Status: PASSED!
Pass the Homeless Youth Act (HB 1436 / SB 5404). Successfully addressing youth homelessness ensures that homeless youth and young adults in our state have the support they need to thrive and avoid more costly outcomes in the criminal justice system, human trafficking, long-term dependence on public benefits, or chronic adult homelessness.
SB 5404 (O'Ban) Status: DEAD HB 1436 (Kagi) Status: PASSED!
King County Bonding Authority for Affordable Housing
This bill will clarify language for existing legislation from 2011 that authorized King County to use a portion of lodging tax revenues to develop housing for working families. Clarified language will cause building to begin much sooner than 2021 (when legislation currently says funds will be available).
TAKE ACTION NOW – fill out this email from the Housing Development Consortium
Tell your legislators that "We need affordable housing now!"
HB 1223 (Springer) Status: PASSED!
BILLS that did not pass in 2015 :/ – They will come up again and need advocacy in 2016!
ENSURE a fairer system for Tenants and Landlords:
Fair Tenant Screening Act (SB 5123 / HB 1257):
Finding a new home or place to rent is hard and usually people apply for more than one place. Currently the average renter will have to pay for three or more tenant screening reports during this process. The Fair Tenant Screening Act would create the a portable tenant screening report process where a renter could buy (one time) a standard online tenant screening report and provide access to the report to multiple landlords.Pass the Fair Tenant Screening Act to make the tenant screening process more affordable and fair for both tenants and landlords.
SB 5123 (Frockt) Status: DEAD
HB 1257 (Walkinshaw) Status: DEAD
Truth in Eviction reporting (SB 5376 / HB 1460)
Currently, a tenant can be caught in a landlord's foreclosure, win an appeal, be wrongfully named, settle to the landlord's satisfaction, or not be evicted. Despite this, their names still appear with an eviction on their report, which usually results in landlords being reluctant to take them as tenants. Tenant screening reports should only name evictions when the tenant has actually been evicted.
SB 5376 (Habib) Status: DEAD
HB 1460 (Robinson) Status: DEAD
Source of Income Discrimination Protection bill (SB 5378 / HB 1565)
This legislation would prohibit discrimination in housing based on participation in government assistance programs. Many rental ads now list "not accepting Section 8," referring to those receiving assistance with their rent. These tenants should be subject to screening checks just like any other tenant, but Section 8 status alone is no reason to prevent a prospective tenant from even applying.
SB 5378 (Kohl-Welles) Status: DEAD
HB 1565 (Ormsby) Status: DEAD
Homeless Student Stability Act (HB 1682 / SB 5065)
SUPPORT Homeless Students: Pass the Homeless Student Stability Act
Invests in stability for homeless students using a two-pronged approach: 1) provides funding for school districts to serve homeless students. School funding is designed to match the federal dollars received under McKinney-Vento; 2) creates a grant program serving up to 15 school districts interested in creating school-housing partnerships that will directly increase housing stability for homeless students and families. Funds can be used for housing vouchers, rapid rehousing, host homes, or other programs based on local need and community preference. Partnerships will be data-driven and targeted to improve stability and academic performance of homeless students.
HB 1682 (Fey) Status: DEAD – however $2 million funded in house budget
Certificate of Restoration of Opportunity (CROP) Act (HB 1553)
Ensure opportunities and reduce unnecessary barriers to employment that do not contribute to public safety.
CROP One Pager
Increase efficiency in child care reporting (SB 5098)
This legislation would streamline a family's reporting requirements regarding changes to family's circumstance in order to ensure stability and quality of care for children from low-income households.
SB 5098 (Billing) Status: DEAD

As Winter Approaches, A Push for More Shelter: Deborah Wang, KUOW
In 2005, housing advocates in King County announced a plan to end homelessness within a decade.
Since then, the community has produced 5,600 units of permanent housing for the homeless, more than anywhere in the U.S. except New York and Los Angeles. This year alone, more than 2,000 formerly homeless people have moved into permanent housing.
Despite those improvements, and even as the economy booms in the region, the homeless population continues to inch higher.
"Last year, we had 10,000 households that were homeless in King County and 5,000 of them were newly homeless," said Mark Putnam, director of the Committee to End Homelessness in King County.
This year's One Night Count of homeless people found 3,123 people living outside, a 14 percent increase over 2013. At the same time, 6,171 homeless people lived in shelters or transitional housing.
The fast rising rents, low vacancies and high cost of living in the Seattle area have pushed more people to live in their cars or on the streets, according to advocates.
Some are newly arrived residents who were drawn to the area by the booming economy.
"I've heard many a story of people that thought moving here with a couple thousand dollars would be enough for them to get on their feet, find a job settle and kind of settle in, and it's not," said Putnam.
Putnam said housing advocates will be asking state lawmakers to put $100 million more into the housing trust fund in the next budget. That pays for the construction of affordable housing across the state.
In Seattle, homeless advocates are looking for an additional $1 million to add emergency shelter beds this winter.
"There are opportunities right now for both the Seattle City Council and the King County Council to approve budgets that increase the capacity for places where people can be overnight during the winter months," said Alison Eisinger, director of the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness.
Homeless advocates are also pushing the King County Council to extend permits for temporary homeless encampments, also called tent cities, in unincorporated areas.
Legislation now under review would allow an encampment to stay in one place for about four months, one month longer than is currently allowed.
Homeless residents testified in favor of the legislation before the King County Council this week.
"If it wasn't for Tent City 3 … I literally wouldn't be here right now," said Richard Barker. "It gives me a safe place …I wouldn't survive out on the streets."
The County Council will vote in December on whether to extend permits for homeless encampments. Council members are reportedly divided on whether to require tent city residents to submit to criminal background checks when they move into a new neighborhood.
Take Action to ensure more shelter beds inside next year:
Please call your King County Councilmember and leave this message: "I don't want veterans [the homeless unsheltered] on the streets in my community. FULLY FUND the King County Winter Shelter in the 2015-16 budget. Bring 100 men inside from October through May. Don't short-change homeless people." The final budget is being put together THIS WEEK. Thank you!
Tell Seattle City Councilmembers that they should "Commit $1 million to address the unmet needs of homeless Seattleites for shelter and safety 24 hours a day."

Fresh recruit
Alfred René Heneage was born on 10 June 1858 in Stags End, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England, the third son of Edward Fieschi Heneage (1802-1880), Member of Parliament for Grimsby, and his second wife, Renee Elisabeth Levina Hoare (1825-1871). Educated at Cheltenham College, Heneage was commissioned a Sub Lieutenant in the 74th Highlanders on 11 September 1876 and promoted Lieutenant on 11 September 1877. The regiment was associated with the 71st Highland Light Infantry on 1 July 1881 and redesignated the 2nd Battalion Highland Light Infantry (City of Glasgow Regiment).
Upon the outbreak of hostilities in 1882, the 2nd Bn. Highland Light Infantry was ordered to proceed to Egypt, arriving in Alexandria on the 20th of August with an effective strength of 30 officers and 776 other ranks. The regiment formed part of the Highland Brigade and saw considerable action during the Battle of Tel-el-Kebir. On the evening of the 12th of September, the Brigade was ordered to advance under the cover of darkness. A night attack had never before been attempted by British troops and caused some confusion. Still, the Brigade reached neared the Egyptian positions just before daybreak on 13 September and charged the last 150 yards under heavy enemy fire. The defenses were stormed and, by 6 A.M., the battle was over.
Lieutenant W.M.M. Edwards, 2nd Bn. Highland Light Infantry, received the only Victoria Cross awarded for the battle by leading a party storming one of the Egyptian redoubts. The regiment lost 3 officers and 18 other ranks killed, and 5 officers and 54 other ranks wounded, suffering heavier casualties than any other unit at the battle. Total British casualties were 9 officers and 48 other ranks killed, 28 officers and 353 other ranks wounded. 24 officers and 628 other ranks from the 2nd Bn. Highland Light Infantry received the clasp for Tel-el-Kebir. Heneage was among those wounded in action and he was invalid directly to England after the battle. Heneage received the Egypt Medal with one clasp and the Khedive's Star for this war service.
After the war, the 2nd Bn. Highland Light Infantry returned to England before departing for India on 1 October 1884, reaching Bombay on the 29th of October. The regiment was in India when Heneage was promoted Captain and transferred to the 5th Dragoon Guards on 23 May 1888. Heneage appears to have been a strong horseman as he won the 5th Dragoon Guards Challenge Cup in 1893 riding his own horse, Sea King.
Heneage served with the 5th Dragoon Guards while they were stationed in the United Kingdom but was assigned to the depot at Canterbury when the 5th Dragoon Guards were posted to India on 6 September 1893 and remained with the depot until September 1897. After this, Heneage traveled to India to rejoin the regiment, being promoted Major on 22 January 1898. At this time, the regiment was commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel R. S. Baden-Powell, who would go on to fame for leading the defense of Mafeking (October 1899 to May 1900) and for founding the Boy Scouts in 1908.
Heneage served with the 5th Dragoon Guards during the Boer War. The regiment was stationed in India and was among the first units ordered to South Africa. Heneage arrived at Ladysmith on 26 October 1899 as commander of B Squadron, just prior to the beginning of the siege.
Heneage's first action occurred on 30 October 1899 at Lombard's Kop. General Sir George White commanded an attack on the Boer positions beginning at dawn but the British infantry came under heavy fire and their advance soon bogged down. The Cavalry Brigade, including the 5th Dragoon Guards, was called out to extradite the force. It was during this that Lieutenant John Norwood, 5th Dragoon Guards, received the only Victoria Cross ever awarded to the regiment for rescuing a wounded soldier under heavy enemy fire. On 3 November, Major Heneage (commanding B Squadron) was again involved in a similar action near Long Valley when the regiment was called out to cover the retreat of the Imperial Light Horse from a difficult position.
After these initial defeats, the British made no further effort to break out from Ladysmith and settled into the routine of a siege. The next several months were spent defending positions and occasionally probing the Boer lines. Major Heneage was involved in one such sortie on 7 December but like other such attempts to probe the Boers, this failed due heavy and accurate enemy shell and rifle fire. The last major action of the siege was on the 5th and 6th of January at Platrand, when the Boers attacked the British positions and the 5th Dragoon Guards, including Heneage, were sent to reinforce the Imperial Light Horse on Wagon Hill.
Soon after, Major Heneage was stricken with typhoid fever (a.k.a. enteric fever) and spent the next several months on the sick list. During the siege of Ladysmith, the 5th Dragoon Guards lost more soldiers to this dreaded disease (25 killed) than to enemy action (11 men killed or wounded). Heneage was fortunate to have survived. As it was, Heneage was invalid back to England immediately after the siege was lifted (on 28 February 1900) to recuperate.
Heneage returned by the summer of 1900 and was appointed second-in-command of the 5th Dragoon Guards on 20 August 1900, a post he held for the remainder of his military career. Heneage spent the rest of the Boer War like most other cavalry troops, defending the lines of communication and making sweeps across the veldt in the hopes of capturing Boers. Heneage took part in the operations in the Transvaal, east of Pretoria, 1900; in the operations in Natal, 1900; during operations in the Transvaal, east of Pretoria, 1900; and operations in Orange River Colony, 1900. He also served in the Transvaal 30 November 1900 to August 1901, November to December 1901, and in the operations in Orange River Colony, May 1901. Heneage again became ill and was invalid home for England on 20 December 1901 on board the Hospital ship Dunera. This late departure brings to question whether Heneage truly qualified for the King's South Africa Medal. Heneage appears on the 5th Dragoon Guards KSA Medal Roll and would have had to serve in South Africa after 1 January 1902 to qualify for this medal. The 5DG was ordered to India on 19 March 1902 and there is no indication that Heneage returned before this date. If he didn't return, then it's possible his Commanding Officer included him on the roll anyway, perhaps not wishing to begrudge the man this reward for serving throughout the Boer War, including being invalid home twice.
For his war service, Heneage received the QSA Medal with three clasps and the KSA Medal with two clasps. Heneage was mentioned in despatches (London Gazette 10 September 1901) and awarded the Distinguished Service Order (London Gazette 27 September 1901). This decoration was dated 29 November 1900 and most likely was for his service at Ladysmith. The Insignia were presented to Major Heneage by King Edward VII on 12 May 1902. Only two Victorian Distinguished Service Orders were gazetted to the 5th Dragoon Guards, both for Boer War service. The other, to Lieutenant (later Colonel) W.Q. Winwood, is at the Chester Military Museum.
Heneage never married and resigned from the 5th Dragoon Guards on 11 November 1903, a premature end to his military career. Apparently, the many years of campaigning, illnesses, and wounds finally took their toll. Local sources indicate that he stumbled across Thetis Island, Chemainus, British Columbia, Canada (near Vancouver) on a trip home from Japan in 1904 and decided to purchase 73 acres. Major Heneage and his unmarried sister, Eveline, spent the rest of their days there, becoming local celebrities.
Heneage died on 3 May 1946 at age 87 and his sister in 1952 at 90 years of age. Their cousin, the Reverend Thomas Robert Heneage (later the 3rd Lord Heneage) immigrated to Victoria, British Columbia, in 1909 and served as the Executive Commander for the Boys Scouts Association of British Columbia from 1912 to 1922.
Upon the death of Major Heneage, Eveline donated the homestead to the Anglican Church and moved to Victoria. Under the name of Camp Columbia, it later was used to provide camping programs for children, youths, and families of the Anglican Church.

Justice & Law
The Court's Been Packed. Now What?
9/25/2020 by Kate Kendell and Aaron Belkin
Court expansion is the only proportionate, effective and legitimate response to Republicans illegitimate theft of the Court. (Creative Commons)
Let's set the scene: Two men credibly accused of sexual misconduct. Another who compared employers covering birth control to being "involved in the wrongdoing of others." Now maybe a woman who says Roe v. Wade is tantamount to "abortion on demand."
These are the people who will rule on a wide range of high stakes court cases on women's rights if Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell have their way.
Yes, Roe v. Wade is very much on the chopping block, but that doesn't even begin to cover the potential damage to women. Everything from health care and child care access to sexual harassment and workplace discrimination are likely to land in front of an increasingly anti-woman bench unless we move urgently to reverse the Republican theft of the Supreme Court—starting by adding seats.
(Boston Red Cloaks / JGS)
Like millions of women and men across the country, we were devastated by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death. We were also enraged, because our grief quickly had to morph to fear. I knew that, as women and men committed to justice, we would not be allowed even the briefest moment to mourn an American hero before we had to turn our attention to the next assault on our rights. Sadly, our fears are confirmed.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell didn't give us even a day. In the very same statement in which he professed to mourn the "conclusion of her extraordinary American life," McConnell danced on her grave, promising to ignore Justice Ginsburg's dying wish by rushing to confirm her replacement less than two months before the Presidential election.
In doing so, McConnell is obliterating a "rule" he invented four years ago—that the Senate should not confirm Supreme Court justices in a presidential election year.
Members of the House and Senate Democratic Caucuses held a bicameral press event on May 26, 2016, to demand they take action on Obama's nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. (Senate Democrats / Flickr)
In 2016, President Obama nominated Merrick Garland 237 days before the election. By the time Donald Trump nominates Ginsburg's replacement, we will be less than 40 days from election day. We're so close that many voters have already cast their ballot through early voting!
McConnell's rank hypocrisy is hardly shocking. But is enlightening, because it offers a clear window into his and the Republican party's long-term strategy.
Republicans have lost the popular vote in six of the last seven Presidential elections, yet they are poised to control a supermajority of the Supreme Court. In addition to eviscerating women's rights, they will be able to veto any meaningful climate change legislation, erase the Affordable Care Act, block gun safety measures and generally handcuff any future Democratic administration from governing through either legislation or executive action.
Scarier still, they will almost certainly double down on previous rulings that enable voter suppression, gerrymandering, union busting and dark money in politics. That's all designed to ensure that Republicans can win elections even without majority support, and that even when Democrats do manage to take office, they cannot actually govern. That is not a democracy.
If you found this article helpful, please consider supporting our independent reporting and truth-telling for as little as $5 per month.
There is no silver lining to the loss of a trailblazing icon or the decline of American democracy. But if there is one thing keeping me going in this moment, it is hope that McConnell's choice to overplay his hand seems to have finally awoken millions of Americans to the urgency of our situation.
For the past two years, we have worked with a group called Take Back the Court, to advocate for adding seats to the Supreme Court. We formed that group because democracies can't function when Courts are stolen, and Court expansion is the only proportionate, effective and legitimate response to Republicans illegitimate theft of the Court.
That was true before last Friday. It's even more true today.
To restore the right to vote, ensure reproductive freedom, protect workers, halt our climate emergency, and save democracy, Congress must add seats to the U.S. Supreme Court, says Take Back the Court. (Take Back the Court)
To make America a democracy again, the next Congress and administration must end the filibuster, expand the Supreme Court, restore the voting rights act, give D.C. voters equal representation, and facilitate self-determination for Puerto Rico. The first two items on that list are prerequisite for the rest.
Court Expansion Not Unprecedented
While Court expansion is just coming back into vogue, it is hardly unprecedented. Congress sets the number of justices—no constitutional amendment is required—and has changed that number six times throughout American history. It could do so again by simply passing a bill for the next President to sign into law.
Some observers have proposed other reforms such as term limits or a judicial code of ethics. Those are good ideas too, and we should pass them alongside Court expansion—the goal here is the restored legitimacy of the Court, not a raw power grab.
But no reform other than Court expansion will actually rectify the fundamental problem: that Republicans illegitimately packed the Court by manipulating its size for partisan gain. If we do nothing, it's like bringing cotton candy to a knife fight.
We may not have been given any time to grieve Justice Ginsburg's loss, but we have been given the tools we need to fight back and protect and uphold her legacy. That starts by adding seats to stop a stolen, illegitimate Court from undoing the progress she made for our rights.

Before its final episode, Dark introduced another twist: characters could not only time travel but jump to another reality, creating an even bigger loop that encompassed not only the original cast of characters, but new versions of the citizens of Winden. As a young Jonas looks for Mikkel, he discovers, in a cave, a tunnel that allows him to time travel. Throughout Dark season 2, he tries to stop the destruction. But the apocalypse is not the end of the cycle. As the entire town of Winden is being engulfed by an explosion, Jonas is holding the body of the woman he loves: Martha.
After revealing himself as Adam, the older version of Jonas shot her to ensure his plans would be successful. However, Adam did not predict one thing: the arrival of a Martha from a new world. This second Martha abandons Jonas in the Winden caves, so he can guide her past self and warn her about the upcoming apocalypse, which is also fated to happen in her world.
Slowly, Jonas realizes this new world is not the same as his own. This major factor changes the lives of most of the characters. As he walks into their school, Martha, Magnus, and Bartosz have no idea who Jonas is and have no memory of his existence. Not even his mother, Hannah, knows him. Initially, this shocks Jonas, but once he realizes he never existed in this world, he focuses on explaining the loop and the apocalypse to Martha.
Although this version of Martha never knew him, they still feel a pull between them and she eventually falls in love with him.
She attends the Winden high school. At the lake, Martha and Jonas are sitting together, when he finds a pendant with an engraving of St. Christopher imprinted on it.

First Dates Hotel is back on our screens this week with a brand new series. The TV show ditches corrupt police officers and gangland bosses in favour of Fred Sirieix and his dedicated restaurant crew at Paternoster Chop House as they work tirelessly to ensure that their diners all of whom have been set up on blind dates enjoy their evenings. With cameras dotted all over the restaurant, the show is aimed squarely at our love of eavesdropping and an insatiable appetite for bad dating tales.
However, we have good news for fans everywhere: the spin-off of our favourite dating show, First Dates Hotel , is back on our screens to see us through the remainder of our coronavirus lockdown. How long do the sparks fly once the cameras have been switched off? To sate our curiosity, we got in touch with the brainiacs behind the show to find out which of our favourite First Dates couples are still together — and, boy, do we have some serious happy-ever-afters for you to sink your teeth into.
Elan and Cindy were instantly attracted to each other when they met on the show. The pair met up in Manchester the weekend after their First Dates appearance, and their relationship has gone from strength-to-strength. Surprise after surprise culminating in the most amazing proposal! First Dates fans will no doubt remember Lauren from season two — mainly because her date with Faliraki DJ Terry Turbo was such a disaster he literally asked her what size bra she wore. The pair welcomed their first child in and now, in a recent interview with HELLO , Lauren has revealed that she and Dan are a still going strong, and b expecting their second child together.
In , though, she met Dan — and the couple are now engaged, happy parents to two-year-old Jude, and expecting their second baby together.

Good looks and whatever other aesthetic concerns are out of the equation; these relationships are based on the true connection of conversation. It does help, though, that everyone is good-looking. Things get less theoretical and more actual when, after only a week or so, several of the couples get engaged sight unseen, only meeting face to face after the first proposal, then embarking on a fraught month of cohabitation on the way to a quickie wedding.

Canonical Teaches Ubuntu to Phone Home Every Day
August 19, 2010 5:00 AM PT
Well it's been an eventful few weeks here in the Linux blogosphere, what with all the various scandals that have erupted recently over Digg and Ubuntu's off-and-on romance with Dell, to name just two.
Then there was Debian's birthday on Monday! For some heartwarming Linuxy love, you won't want to miss the Debian Appreciation Day page, which received almost 3,000 messages marking the event. Happy 17th, Debian!
By far the hottest topic in recent days, however, was news that Canonical has begun tracking Ubuntu installations.
No User-Specific Data
It's true! The new "canonical-census" package apparently sends an "I am alive" ping to Canonical each day as a way to help the company track the users of OEM Ubuntu installations, according to a report on Phoronix.
No user-specific data is sent, Phoronix notes; rather, the package reportedly transmits only the operating system version, the machine product name and a counter.
"This information will obviously be valuable to see whether customers are keeping around their Ubuntu installations or just wiping them and just how often Ubuntu is being used on these systems," Phoronix's Michael Larabel pointed out.
Plus, "for those not wanting to participate in this anonymous data gathering process, they could always sudo apt-get remove canonical-census," he added.
'There Should Be an Outcry'
The story, not surprisingly, made quite a splash on Slashdot, where more than 500 comments followed in short order.
"I would probably let the feature stay enabled," wrote Zumbs, for instance. "But I do want easy access (no code digging) to see what information is being collected, who gets access to it and an easy way of turning the feature off. And I would consider it a courtesy if Canonical actually asked me."
Similarly, "it seems like any kind of Linux usage statistics you see these days are just a load of hot air," noted unixcrab. "Hopefully this will provide some solid data and hopefully Canonical will make it public."
On the other hand, "why should the details of the article negate the fact that this is a privacy issue, and there should be an outcry about it? Does the fact that it's only happening against a subset of installs matter?" asked Richard_at_work. "Not really. Does the fact that there is an *opt-out* option? Again, not really, as it's tracking usage — this should be opt-in for definite."
Given the importance of usage statistics in Linux's ongoing desktop battle, Linux Girl vowed to learn more.
'Should Be Turned Off by Default'
"It's good if the public has access to the data," Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza opined. "Otherwise it's just spyware, even if it's allegedly not collecting personally identifiable information."
Similarly, "it's one thing to ask nicely — people don't mind returning a favor," began Barbara Hudson, a blogger on Slashdot who goes by "Tom" on the site. "It's another thing to track someone without asking."
Tracking without permission is illegal in several countries, Hudson told Linux Girl. "For example, criminal court decisions in Canada went against the police when it was held that IP addresses are 'personal identifiable information,' and you need either permission or a warrant to collect them."
A user accessing a Web server is consenting, "because the server needs the IP address to know where to send the files to," she pointed out. "That's quite a big difference from your computer sending its IP address to someone every day, possibly without you even being aware of it."
At the very least, "this is something that should be turned off by default," Hudson concluded.
'This May Be Part of an Exit Strategy'
Slashdot blogger hairyfeet had a surprising theory for the motivations behind Canonical's move.
"This may be part of an exit strategy on the part of Canonical," he suggested.
"They are losing serious money on Ubuntu, and as we saw with Mandriva, it is nearly impossible to make enough money from a Linux desktop to pay for R&D, much less grow, thanks to the DIY nature of Linux users," he explained. "So there is a good chance that Canonical is collecting this data to see where their money has gone and to decide whether to stay in the desktop game."
'We Need Hard Numbers'
Others, however, saw it differently.
"There are hundreds of conflicting estimates of how many Linux machines are out there," Montreal consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack pointed out. "Knowing how many people are using Linux is important because larger numbers provide leverage when we go asking for drivers from hardware manufacturers, apps from software makers or try and convince OEMs to bundle Linux."
Currently, "Microsoft has the advantage because they just count every machine sold with a Windows license as one for their team, so we need hard numbers to back our side of the story," Mack added.
Anti-FUD Ammunition
Indeed, such data "could be very useful to defeat FUD and to encourage OEMs to put more effort into selling GNU/Linux," blogger Robert Pogson agreed.
"I would expect that boxes running GNU/Linux should be kept running longer by their owners because they work well and reliably, even on older machines," Pogson suggested. "That other OS is replaced periodically because it fails and owners keep hoping the next release will be better, even if the old machines have to be scrapped."
A few months of statistics, then, "should be able to demonstrate that owners keep Ubuntu running," he opined. "A few years of statistics should be able to demonstrate the longevity of GNU/Linux systems."
'An Open Standard for Reporting'
Pogson would even go so far as to encourage every distro "to join an open standard for reporting the existence of GNU/Linux systems," in fact.
"It would require some kind of authentication certificate cranked out by installers, because just a ping would be easily falsified," he noted. "It cannot be just an install-time thing, because one can install repeatedly on a single system. Any system like WGdisA would likely be unacceptable.
"Do we need a FLOSS organization that issues authentication certificates?" he asked. "Is the kernel the right place to put code that would define GNU/Linux systems? What if a firewall were put up to block the pings?"
Whichever the case, it "would require consensus to implement," he concluded.
Garthhh says:
The need for hard numbers shouldn't over ride disclosure.
the standard GNU with the agree box checked by default would be a usual sort of compromise.
