Spokane Homeless Coalition Leadership Team Nominations Extended to November 30th

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

The cut-off for Leadership Team nominations was November 15th, but we’ve decided to extend them until November 30th! That means you have fifteen extra days to comb through your contacts and locate someone you think has the knowledge, skills, and compassion to serve on the Leadership Team. The Coalition is going through a renaissance of sorts, so it is an especially exciting time to serve!

If you know someone you’d like to nominate (and yes, it’s perfectly acceptable to nominate yourself!) please make sure they’re a voting member of the Coalition, have them fill out the following forms and email them to James:

Thanks!

Candidate Forum Success!

Posted on by

Today the Spokane Homeless Coalition had a wonderful candidate forum with politicians from the region. We were able to share a few facts on local citizens experiencing homelessness and programs that are working to address the housing challenges our community faces. You can find the Homelessness Facts sheet were presented by clicking here. Additionally, we were able to ask the politicians about their stance on the role of government in affordable housing, the importance of the Housing Trust Fund and their opinions on healthcare reform that impacts the citizens we serve. Look for more posts on the site with more information about the exciting event! And a special thanks to the candidates in attendance:

Timm Ormsby, 3rd District House Representative

Marcus Riccelli, 3rd District House Candidate

Andy Billig, 3rd District Senate Candidate

Dennis Dellwo, 6th District House Candidate
