Homeless man accidentally killed by garbage truck in Eastlake A homeless man was struck and killed by a garbage truck driver early Tuesday morning.

On Oct. 28, around 6a, a man sleeping next to a dumpster in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood was killed when he was accidentally crushed by a garbage truck. He was probably there to try to stay safe, tucked out of the way.

When will we have enough?

Another new village of #tinyhomesforthehomeless opened last month! We keep cranking out this most desirable, successful, & affordable of #HomelessnessSolutions. Thanks Chief Seattle Club www.chiefseattleclub.org for leadership and supportive services at Eagle Village 2.0 to help end #homlessness!

Hotel or food. What a choice.

…and interestingly, “New drug use began for 27% after becoming homeless, suggesting homelessness itself is a driving factor for some.” Get folks off the streets quicker and prevent these xtra barriers from developing. #tinyhomesforthehomeless #HomelessnessSolutikns

Former Speaker Chopp was a giant who fought for minnows. Our world needs more Frank Chopps, not fewer. Condolences to his friends and family.

Big Mo was a Big Milestone! We built our 600th #tinyhomesforthehomeless today! Thanks to @Jodi Hill and The Hill Team for all your ongoing efforts! #homelessnesssolutions #homelessnessissolvable

The #tinyhomesforthehomeless are being built as we speak - 15 more in various stages of completion right now at our building facility in SoDo! Come by for a tour. #HomelessnessSolutions #warmsafeanddry #homelessness

Rain is back and so are 40 deg. temps. Meanwhile, we're turning out warm, safe, & dry #tinyhomesforthehomeless that, when paired with supportive services, have been moving roughly 60% of folks who leave into permanent housing, and keeping 98.5% of them housed one year later. #HomelessnessSolutions

Community Partners are local businesses and organizations that have donated at least the cost of four new #tinyhomesforthehomeless. Our newest CP is Seattle-based wealth management firm Brighton Jones, thanks for supporting the tiny home solution in our community! #HomelessnessSolutions

Where the Left Went Wrong on Homelessness Reclaiming this issue could mean reclaiming power for the progressive left.

At SFNW, we lean neither left nor right. We are laser-focused on a desired, effective, and affordable solution to unsheltered homelessness. We support the goal for LOTS more permanent affordable housing, but that there ALSO needs to be a short term alternative.

And there IS an alternative, that they were offered along with cash to run it, and that they turned down. If this law is the stick, where’s the carrot? #tinyhomesforthehomeless #HomelessnessSolutions #HomelessnessIsSolvable

We start from the belief that NOBODY deserves to sleep outside. It’s a travesty in the richest country in the world that we tolerate our neighbors suffering in leaky tents, lawless encampments, and unsafe rv’s when safe, dignified, and fiscally responsible options exist. #tinyhomesforthehomeless

There are #tinyhomesforthehomeless ready and available right now. We would know, we build them right here in Seattle!

What’s the holdup to more tiny home villages? First identifying an appropriate and available site, then secondary steps, like these zoning changes. Kudos to Pierce Co. Council for opening new avenues to shelter!

Thought we’d move on over here where there’s a little less shouting. We’re all about sheltering our neighbors - less talking, more doing. We’ve now built 580 of our tiny homes, and counting, since we began in 2018. Open to all good ideas and constructively offered criticism.
