Governing documents etc available to public Part VI line 19 Upon request. Part III response or note to any other line in Part III We serve our members through hosting several sets of meetings, including 1)monthly General Membership meetings (open to all, focused on service and housing providers); 2)bi-monthly Senior Leaders conversations for senior leaders at member agencies; 3) monthly South King County Forum on Homelessness meetings (open to all, focused on people who work in south King County communities); 4) Two workgroups for staff from member organizations focused on staff training and professional development and on policy and advocacy.We provide unique opportunities for direct service providers to learn about best practices and resources; develop and share skills; and receive specialized training related to working with people who are homeless or unstably housed. Coalition staff organize and host free, public trainings for case manager, social workers, staff at local public schools and other institutions, and volunteers on topics related to providing housing, shelter, health, and social services. We co-host additional learning opportunities and training with several partners, including the Coalition Ending Gender-Based Violence and the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.In 2024, we worked with attorneys, benefits navigators, paralegals, and other staff at partner organizations to present seven high-quality professional trainings to staff who provide housing, and work in homelessness and human services across King County. Trainings focused on helping people access, use, and maintain state and local public benefits and services such as Social Security and Social Security Disability; Working Families Tax Credit; McKinney-Vento Student Support Services, Medicare and Medicaid; SNAP, WIC, and state food benefits; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; WorkFirst, and state disability benefits for people who are Aged Blind and Disabled (ABD) or use Housing and Essential Needs (HEN) resources.In 2024, we hosted 11 General Membership Meetings. These informative sessions are intended to help staff learn about and discuss promising and best practices in housing, homelessness and human services; understand key sector-wide issues; ask hard questions and reflect on their work; have honest conversations about implementation challenges; and address common shared issues. On average staff from 27 unique organizations participated in each meeting.Meeting agendas on topics such as: Seattle Housing Authority sharing information on accessing their housing voucher waitlist; DSHS introducing their new Mobile Office; how people without housing can access state ID through the Department of Licensing; United Ways free tax preparation support for low income filers; regional crisis response resources available now and in future through Crisis Care Centers Levy implementation plan; helping students and families access summer EBT benefits; medication assisted treatment through the UW Medicines new Telebup Hotline and REACHs Treatment in Motion programs; information about and opportunities to participate in Seattle and King County annual budget process; understanding the King County Regional Homelessness Authoritys Ombuds program, healthcare services through the UW/Aurora Commons SHE clinics; understanding voting rights of people without traditional home addresses; information about legislative and budget priorities and how to participate in the 2024 WA State Legislative Session.Support for children, youth, and families who are homeless: In every school district in King County, hundreds of students try to learn while living through the upheaval and uncertainty of homelessness. The Coalition supports students who are homeless and their families by providing information and training for staff who work with school-aged children and youth and offers practical support (i.e. new backpacks, school and hygiene supplies, books) through our Project Cool for Back-to-School. Each year we host a workshop called Helping Homeless Students: McKinney-Vento 101 for staff who work directly with public school students who are homeless. The training draws a wide range of staff from community-based organizations, public schools, and other partner agencies. Our October 1st, 2024 training took place on-line, and was attended by 67 providers from 30 different agencies; shelter staff; educators and staff from local public schools. Through Project Cool we collected and purchased high quality supplies, books, and backpacks. In summer 2024 we distributed backpacks to over 1600 school-aged children and youth who were homeless in King County in time for the beginning of the 2024-25 school year. Backpacks contained new, age-appropriate school supplies, hygiene items, age-appropriate books, and resources. These were distributed free to children and youth who are receiving shelter and services at 13 Coalition member organizations.Legislative Updates and Advocacy Campaigns: We educate both staff and clients at our member organizations and the general public to understand how local, state, and federal governments work; who represents them at each level of the government; how ideas become bills become laws; and how to speak up to inform the process as policies and legislation are developed that affect peoples lives and work. Our budget and legislative priorities focus on the need for additional progressive revenue to maintain and scale up current services, shelter, and housing, and to address inequities and remove barriers to stability, health, education, housing, and well-being for people who are living without stable homes, with disabilities, and with extremely low or no income.During the Seattle and King County budget process, staff helped develop recommendations for the Mayor and Executive, City and County Councilmembers to consider in planning and adopting biennial or supplemental budgets. We highlight unmet needs and gaps in systems and services in our community, and the need to stabalize the systems of care that exist to help and house residents. We advocate to secure adequate funding for quality services and affordable homes that will meet the needs of local residents. Through Coalition meetings and trainings, partnership with other human services and housing coalitions, and presence at public meetings and hearings, we engage people with direct experience of homelessness and poverty, direct service providers, and others to participate in the budget process by writing or calling their elected representatives, attending and speaking at public meetings, and sharing their insight, experience and knowledge. We prepare informational materials and provide sample messages and postcards to ensure that people who are unable to attend in person can participate in civic life. We encourage people to participate in public events; speak with elected officials and with the media about what they see and experience; and share information about how various efforts would benefit, assist, shelter, and house people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Coalition staff participate regularly in meetings where conversations about services, community needs, and systems issues are discussed, including the Seattle Human Service Coalition and the King County Alliance for Human Services, the Eastside Homelessness Advisory Council, the North Urban Human Services Alliance, and the South King County Homelessness Action Committee, and co-convene the South King County Forum on Homelessness.At the local level, in Seattle and King County, and at the state, our work included educating and engaging people to learn about issues and government processes; grassroots and direct lobbying related to developing deeply affordabl housing and supportive services, providing adequate shelter, and funding effective responses to the health, housing, and safety needs of people without housing or shelter.Voter registration, education, and civic participation: We organize non-partisan efforts to help eligible voters register and vote, and to educate people about their voting rights, issues on the ballot that affect their lives, and how to participate in civic life whether or not they are able to vote. We train volunteers and staff at member organizations and provide information and outreach in a variety of community settings before each primary and general election, and for special elections.This work focuses on helping ensure that every eligible voter knows how to register and vote, and that all members of our community can participate in public discource on issues that matter to them. The Coalitions work in this area centers on ensuring that people who are homeless or unstably housed, who lack a traditional residential address; who have previous criminal convictions; and how may otherwise face barriers to participation in civic life, including elections, understand their voting rigths and how to participate in democracy.In 2024, Coalition staff trained volunteers who helped us hold 63 community-based volunteer shifts
