HomesNOW! Not Later is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization made entirely of volunteers working together to end homelessness one person at a time. Our mission is to address each person’s basic human needs and help them get back on their feet.
Our tent communities and tiny home villages provide temporary housing and access to basic needs, such as a safe place to sleep, a place to store belongings and food, access to drinking water, cooking facilities, showers, bathrooms, mailing address, internet, and garbage service. We work one-on-one with each person to eliminate barriers to housing and find affordable permanent housing options.
As of June 2019, we’ve helped 17 homeless people find permanent housing, 9 people find employment, and provided a stable living situation for 55 people.

We are so close to our "end of June" goal; only $1,800 more needed to meet that goal. We are so grateful for all the community support.
Here's our progress so far. Thanks to all who have donated and made our first two tiny homes a reality. Let's keep up the momentum!

Our application for Unity Village has officially been submitted and notices have been sent to neighbors. Unity Village will be located at 210 McKenzie Ave. and will have 20 tiny homes, but it will be done in phases. We'll start with 12 tiny homes and 8 tents and as more tiny homes are built, tents will be removed. We need to have all 20 tiny homes built by November (as required by the City).
This means we need to raise about $70,000 between now and October. We're going to build 4 tiny homes per month. So, we need to raise $8,000 before June 15th, another $8,000 before June 29th, etc.
We need all of our supporters to help us raise money, whether by donating, sharing our fundraisers, coming to our upcoming fundraiser at Kulshan on June 18th, buying dinner from Port of Subs on June 13th (5pm to 9pm), or helping us with our coffee fundraiser by bringing an order form to work/school/whatever before June 30th.
If you have questions about how to get involved, please leave a comment, send us a message, or stop by Safe Haven to talk to Jim or Rachel.
You can read more about Unity Village on our website (homesnow.org/unity-village/). If you live in Fairhaven, please come to the public meeting on June 4th to show your support. Thank you!

Many in Bellingham are compassionate, and show this even in the middle of a long weekend helping a homeless person with little to no notice.
These are the people who can move this community forward in so many areas.
ATTENTION:
I’ve been contacted via PM by a young homeless man who is currently in the Birchwood neighborhood. He is camped out “in the woods” and is out of food.
Food bank is closed until Wednesday because of the holiday.
Anyone willing to help him with some staples for the next three days including this evening?

Homeless man 'poisoned with arsenic by stranger who gave him chips'

The man, in his 30s, remembered being handed chips in Liverpool city centre before waking up in hospital.
We need to raise $500 to $1,000 to buy two good tents for the welcome tent and smoking tent. The high winds destroyed the two tents we had so we need to get better quality tents.
We also need to raise money for ongoing expenses such as safe storage, water, grey water dumping, electric, garbage pickup and portapotties.
Please donate via PayPal at admin@homesnow.org, or you can give cash/check in person at Safe Haven to Jim, Charlie, or Rachel, or mail to 432 W. Bakerview Rd, Suite 201, Bellingham, WA 98226. Thank you!

Man used as proof that 'Seattle Is Dying’ tells his story
crosscut.com
Robert Champagne says KOMO's special inaccurately portrayed him. To start, he hasn't been homeless for more than three years.
The point of the special was to focus attention on the drug problem in the City of Seattle. Certainly not all of the homeless that live on the streets of Seattle have drug addictions. The special never said they were. But clearly, too many of the people on the streets of downtown Seattle are drug addicts; this story is about them. To say otherwise is disingenuous. The special tells about those who "wander the streets untethered to home or family or reality, chasing a drug, which in turn chases them. It is about the damage they inflict on themselves, to be sure, but also on the fabric of this place where we live." Again, this is not an attack on the homeless; rather it is a story about the drug addicts living on the streets. For anyone to label this special otherwise is misrepresenting the message.

Whatcom Republican Liberty Caucus - WRLCThese same clowns pass the economy stifling and mental health challenged inviting rules. Then claim they’re compassionate with other people’s money. The lunatics are running the asylum.
5 months ago · 1Listening to this discourse I do hope it's recognized and focused on, that many homeless people have social interactive challenges around respecting other people's property, so public prejudice is against them when considering whether to rent available spaces to them. If the local social agencies would offer classes/workshops REQUIRING anyone wanting to be considered for tenancy, to acquaint themselves with expectations for ALL/ANY renters as to comply with local acceptable behaviors~I SPEAK FROM SAD EXPERIENCE, WHICH IS WHY I HESITATE TO CONSIDER SOME PEOPLE AS PROSPECTIVE TENANTS ON/IN MY PROPERTY!

City Councilor Michael Lilliquist
Good news, albeit a bit late in my view. The City of Bellingham administration has decided to open an emergency cold weather shelter. The mayor's office is still working out the details and getting volunteers. I will be taking a shift starting at 4 am. The shelter will be in the old Learning Center" building at Maritime Heritage Park. As we heard at last night's city council meeting, people are upset at the apparent lack of a response by the City. I share that frustration myself, but I have also been aware of the many conversations and actions that have been going on behind the scene for several days. The wheels have been turning, slowly. I know some will say that it is too little, too late. I won't argue. Starting last week, when the cold weather first hit, people such as myself were worried that there might not be enough space in existing shelters for people experiencing homelessness. Several city council members and a couple of county council members made visits to the Drop In Center to see for ourselves. What I saw was re-assuring, but I was still concerned. I said that we needed to think about a back-up plan. I talked to the mayor and Port officials about some ideas. But the Lighthouse Mission and Fountain Community Church expanded their capacity, made more room for people. The City was told that there was enough bed space. And so over the weekend, nothing materialized from the City since the was no sense of urgency. I felt that was a mistake. It worried me greatly. As we heard again last night, not everyone feels welcome or safe at the Mission's shelter. Whatever we think of the Mission, I hope we can all agree that another shelter option would be a good thing. Which is why I am glad that the City has stepped up at last. I also hope the County will do so as well. www.cob.org/news/Pages/features/City-to-open-additional-emergency-shelter-tonight.aspx
We are in a desperate situation. We need to raise about $3,000 to pay for 6 more days of motel rooms. We don't have enough funds to keep Winter Haven residents in motels after Thursday, but it is not safe for them to return to Winter Haven.
The freezing weather is going to continue for at least another week. During freezing weather, the porta potties can't get serviced and they are almost full. We have no running water at the moment.

Dear mayor tell the truth There are so many empty commercial buildings the city of Bellingham owns I do not understand why they just don't convert 1 into emergency center. there's one on Redwood Avenue that sitting empty for years just sitting there with lawn mowers in it right now Turn the power on fix it up a little bit and call it good..
5 months ago · 39The old south campus st. Joe’s/ former st. Luke’s hospital. It is sitting there empty. How about making it a homeless shelter. Men on one floor, women on another, families in another, mama’s and their children. It’s a real shame to see it just sitting empty when their are so many in dire straits.

For the last week, temperatures have been low. HomesNOW has been taking people who are out in the cold, by van to an emergency shelter we set up with a local church.
The city of Bellingham and the Lighthouse Mission Ministries put out statements to the public that there were available beds at the mission and the drop in center. But when we went to the drop in center, they were full to capacity and there were no beds. Here is the video of that:

Amy Glasser, you are so passionate. It's very true, not everyone is religious, and the mission and agape are religious based, as are a number of women and children shelters. It didn't make me uncomfortable, because my religion follows theirs, but I can imagine how trapped a person, such as Sarah Elisabeth Bede, would feel at a shelter like that. "PRETEND to be okay, or be homeless. Put up with it or be homeless. Try to avoid talking about it, or be homeless"... Let me tell you, it honestly sounds like being in an abusive relationship.
5 months ago · 7Imagine if the few folks from the mission who spoke tonight would have said they are sorry to those of us they can't help or turned away, and then asked the council to help us. Instead we got arrogance, tone policing, and accusations of brain washing! And once again, nothing, from the city.
5 months ago · 8I agree with guy with dreads. The community pays high taxes, and for what? They specifically made a new tax to help the homeless, and people DIED this month! It's not the communities responsibility. I appreciate the business owner who said he'd donate financially, and volunteer. But it is NOT the communitys responsibility to make sure services are in place for those who can't afford or keep a home. The city needs to make adjustments, and they needed to be made in the spring.

5 months agoDo we know how much money has been raised by the homes now group? And how much money has been paid out for hotel rooms? I’m wondering if that money might’ve been spent better renting out a larger space rather than hotel rooms. I’m worried about donor fatigue. It seems if they rent out a larger space for the money they’ve received could’ve had a roof instead of a camp, and they wouldn’t of needed the city to do anything. It sounds like there is a problem finding enough volunteers and case management. Not to mention the problems with the typical rumor mill that happens.

We have teams out at night looking for folks in distress and distributing hot water bottles, others are scrambling to find shelter for the next couple of nights, but more needs to be done.
