We used the attached worksheet at yesterday's TPC Coalition to End Homelessness meeting.  I'll compile the responses and share this week.  The more suggestions, the better.  Please email me any responses you have.  The more specific your suggestion, the better - for instance - the K-Mart on Sixth has a huge, fenced parking lot, indoor bathrooms, must have a commercial code sprinkler system, exits, etc.  

We are looking of the easiest to implement ways to expand both day and night shelter options.  We will give all this information to MDC, Associated Ministries and the City of Tacoma.  Remember the Mayor wants shelter that is, in her words, "safe, warm, and dry."

Please feel free to share the worksheet - just send responses to me at maureenhowardconsulting@gmail.com.

For those who don't know, this is totally pro bono on my part.  I simply want people in safe shelter before winter.

With many thanks for your work,

Maureen
