Redmond, WA – In response to recommendations from the
Mayor’s Task
Force on Homelessness, the City
of Redmond is launching a community education and awareness campaign, including
a new website focused on
homelessness. The website addresses the causes of homelessness, current efforts
underway — and encourages everyone who lives or works in
Redmond to be part of the solution.
“The
City is ‘all in’ because we’re about building community for everyone – including those who are most in need,” said Mayor
John Marchione. “Thanks to the Redmond Community Homelessness Task Force for
providing the foundation for this effort.”
There
are many ways to be involved, including educating yourself and your friends,
finding out how and where to volunteer your time and talents, and advocating
for affordable housing or other key policies. Specific ideas are listed for
landlords, employers, parents, and community groups.
The
campaign is tied to the countywide All Home initiative and leverages the partnership that the City of Redmond has
with King County. All Home Redmond has
many ideas and opportunities for how residents can participate in this initiative,
and they will be rolled out over the next several months.

Planner, at abien@redmond.gov or 425-556-2458. This press release is available on www.redmond.gov.
