Provider meeting this Friday, December 13^th, from 9:30am-11:30am (30 minutes later than usual). We are again meeting at the Salvation Army Church (1110 S Puget Sound Ave, Tacoma, WA  98405) – thank you Salvation Army.

Libraries have long been serving people experiencing homelessness.  This week we’ll highlight some exciting initiatives and discuss how the Coalition can support the work libraries are doing.  This week’s planned agenda:

· A brief Shelter Update by the Metropolitan Development Council and their partners

· A short Initiatives around Homelessness by the City of Tacoma.

· Homelessness and Libraries – a forum

Let me know any additions or changes to the agenda by midday Thursday.

Thanks,
