I do want to make my <br />voice heard regarding the Tiny Homes. As you know we have had 20 tiny homes since <br />December of 22. They are always full and well managed by the Low Income Housing <br />Institute (LiHi). Our partnership with them is strong and they have fit into the other work on <br />campus well. They have graciously shared their shower/toilet trailer with the other <br />residents on site but are run separately from the encampment. <br /> <br />An additional set of homes (as many as possible) will help alleviate the need for tents and <br />provide more stable, comfortable living conditions. It will also improve hygiene and <br />cleanliness of the property. <br /> <br />The Community Council (neighborhood members) that relate to the village and meet <br />monthly have been very favorable regarding the village. Only concerns expressed have <br />been about turnover of LiHi staff. <br /> <br />Please allow LiHi to place more homes on the Riverton Park property so that more of the <br />Tukwila unhoused community can be in safe, secure housing. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br /> <br />Rev. Jan <br />Riverton Park UMC <br /> <br />
