Amazon is about to host a homeless shelter in its Seattle headquarters
&quot;It&#x27;s not one entity that&#x27;s going to solve this,&quot; [Hartman] said. &quot;It&#x27;s not on corporations. It&#x27;s not on congregations. It&#x27;s not on government. It&#x27;s not on foundations. It&#x27;s all of us working together.&quot;<p>While the system (created by governments and corporations) rewards providing housing priced at however much people will pay we won&#x27;t see much affordable housing. Real estate laws do not reward and have not ever rewarded &quot;working together&quot;. If Seattle funneled the money going towards anti-homeless structures to building municipal housing instead this &quot;homeless crisis&quot; would be resolved quickly. It wouldn&#x27;t fix everything and it&#x27;d be just as hard for someone who&#x27;s both unemployed and homeless to get back on their feet but it would make it easier for them to stay on their feet.
