As part of its Streets Initiative, the City of Everett is hosting a series of community housing forums. The first, back in November, featured a presentation by Lloyd Pendleton. Mr. Pendleton was a leader in writing and implementing the State of Utah’s plan to end chronic homelessness, with fantastic success through a “housing first” model. I’m posting now as it has come to my attention that the presentation has been posted on YouTube, here, and I would encourage everyone to view it. Not only has this been a highly successful program with many practical lessons to observe, Mr. Pendleton is an engaging, inspiring speaker. More information on his work can be found on Everett’s site.

The next Community Housing Forum will take place on February 1st, with a continued conversation on local successes in housing first models. More information available here.
