Chief Seattle Club

2023-25 Award - Systems & Policy Change - $125,000/year

Chief Seattle Club continued building its organization’s platform for long-term homelessness and housing advocacy for Native people in King County. This cycle's work prioritized three strategies: Strengthening partnerships with Native providers in King County to advocate for funding and advance best practices, advocating for changes to the Point in Time Count (PIT) aiming for this effort to accurately reflect the current homelessness crisis, and spearheading the development of a comprehensive list of every person in the community experiencing homelessness, updated in real time, to inform further policy efforts.
