The City of Redmond does not want people to know about the low barrier homeless housing in downtown Redmond. In her email on February 3, Redmond Director of Planning, Carol Helland said, “The state permitting requirements mandate public notice and engagement and that has been used effectively by opponents of these types of projects to derail them. Redmond wants to help the ARCH coalition. “
We will do the opposite. We will get the word out. Please sign up for the volunteer form. Please select all that apply. Neighborhood Captains are leaders in their neighborhood who will work to inform people in the neighborhood and organize them to take actions such as attending council meetings, putting up yard signs in the neighborhood, etc. They will also be the spokespersons for our news releases.

The comment above is so true – WE are the people who live here and should have a say in our community and the rules to follow. The representatives on the council except one were very rude and rehearsed in what they said as they denied ANYONE from speaking. I have been to lots of community meetings even on tough topics and did not treat people like that. They mentioned they got $40 million more and I gasped. So they could sell out us as citizens for a check from “Seattle”. Who are they representing Seattle or the county or us as they should be? In addition, one county employee should be recusing himself or at least putting on the record that he works for the county providing these funds. This type of housing is needed but not without barriers and rules and protections and input from the citizens. Plus we do not have the support base including we now have an overworked police department…..
