At the September 26 D5 forum on the 2019-2020 Seattle City budget process, one of the questions submitted was about homelessness response: What are the planned budgetary increases to deal with D- 5 issues around homelessness, and how are they to be spent on: a. People needing homes, especially families; b. People in danger of losing their homes; c. Addiction and mental illness resulting in homelessness; and d. Chronic camping, trash, damage, and hygiene/health problems in parks and open spaces? District 5 Council Member Debora Juarez noted the $89 million projected in Mayor Durkan’s budget to deal with homelessness. Thirty new people will be added to the navigation teams. The lease for the Aurora-Licton Village Homeless Encampment will not be renewed. Juarez wanted to strongly affirm that no one ever tells the Seattle Police Dept not to enforce laws. A pie chart was shown on the screen about how money will be spent on homelessness issues: 48% to emergency shelter, 28% to housing, 8% to prevention, 9% to operations, 7% to service access. Seattle City Budget Director Ben Noble noted we are seeing more success and there is a 25% increase projected in spending for cleanup. Seattle City Council Staff Director Kirsten Arestad added that there is much need for money in Human Services, in addition to dealing with homelessness. The Seattle Preschool Program and the Refugee Women’s Alliance (ReWa) are partnering to bring an early learning center to a historically underserved community in Lake City. The new Lake City Early Learning Center is a four-classroom facility opening at the site of the former Fire Station 39 on October 15. The preschool offers dual language classrooms in Somali, Oromo, Eritrean and Chinese, and has an outdoor playground that includes a play structure, garden, and water feature. The Lake City Early Learning Center supports refugee and immigrant parents by providing childcare that breaks down language, cultural, and religious barriers. The Lake City Early Learning Center has immediate openings – https://earlylearning.microsoftcrmportals.com/parentportal/ Hubbard Homestead Park neighbors and friends, Please join us to provide input on a play area for Hubbard Homestead Park and learn about the decommissioning of the playground at Victory Creek Park. The decommissioning of Victory Creek play area will create the opportunity to start new play area at Hubbard Homestead Park. Please participate in quick survey for the project: Please post this flyer and distribute to your email list. Thank you in advance for your help in promoting this meeting. To stay up to date on the project visit the website http://www.seattle.gov/parks/about-us/current-projects/hubbard-homestead-play-area At its Sept. 27 meeting, the Sound Transit Board decided to advance the NE 130th Street Station into preliminary engineering (PE). Originally scheduled to open in 2031 as an infill station along the Lynnwood Link Extension alignment, the Board directed staff to advance to PE to determine if the station can be sufficiently built by 2024 when LLE goes into revenue service.
Building earlier could potentially save construction costs and avoid later service disruptions associated with constructing it as an infill station. Staff and consultants will take the next year to complete the PE work resulting in greater details on the benefits and downsides of project acceleration and understand the impacts to Sound Transit’s financial and staff resources. This information will be brought back to the Board to make a final decision on whether or not to accelerate construction.
2018 Taste of Eritrea Event Seattle Public Utilities’ Sharps Collection Pilot Program provides safe disposal of “sharps” (needles, syringes, and lancets) from public property. Since the program began in August 2016, SPU inspectors have collected more than 10,000 sharps in the public right of way, and more than 100,000 needles have been disposed of in the City’s drop-off boxes since February 2017. We’re working hard to make our city cleaner and safer, and you can help! Community members play a key role in making sure sharps are spotted, collected, and properly disposed of. Found a needle on the ground? Here’s what to do: First, determine if it’s on public or private property.(If you are unsure if the item you are reporting is on public property, call the City of Seattle Customer Service Bureau, (206) 684-2489 (CITY), for more information.) For sharps on public property:
For sharps on private property:
