Friends:  Attached is a request for help in finding a site for a unique encampment of unhoused people that cycles between North Seattle and Shoreline. 

With the lack of adequate brick-and-mortar shelters and the increase in homelessness, sanctioned encampment sites are needed.  Unfortunately, that comes at a time when religious congregations, whose kindness and compassion has led them to host encampments, are financially stressed themselves.  Some have had to sell land to keep their doors open.  They are also often restricted by regulations of municipalities. That has led to less congregations being able to host at a time when the need is greater.  We are extremely grateful for our current host and previous hosts, especially as they have often given us extensions of time.  

Please read about Camp United We Stand in the attachment, and let us know if you have any information that might be helpful.  Thank you from our Board and our campers.

Sally Kinney, member of CUWS Board
