As 2014 draws to a close, we reflect back on the top ten Housing Alliance moments of this year. We'll present the list to you in segments. Here first are moments 10 through 8.

Ben Miksch, Affordable Housing Policy and Advocacy Specialist

Have you read Bryce Covert's ThinkProgress article "It Would Actually Be Very Simple to End Homelessness" yet?

Haley Jo Lewis, Communications Intern

My name is Haley Jo Lewis, and I am excited to be Washington Low Income Housing Alliance’s new Communications Intern! I am originally from sunny San Diego and moved to Seattle three years ago to attend Seattle University where I am currently in my senior year studying communications.

Housing Alliance Staff

In our ongoing work to reduce homelessness in Yakima, the Homeless Network of Yakima County has been planning to create a permanent homeless shelter.

Joaquin Uy, Communications Specialist

The Washington Low Income Housing Alliance believes that everyone in Washington should have the opportunity to live in a safe, healthy, affordable home in a thriving community. Gun violence hurts communities and undermines that vision. For that reason, the Housing Alliance endorses Initiative 594.

Alouise Urness, Community & Member Organizer

Since I last wrote about the Emerging Advocates Program, a lot has happened.
