Friends,
Many constituents raised concerns about homelessness at our community coffees this summer. I agree this is a major challenge our state is facing and am particularly concerned about children and youth facing homelessness. If you want more context about the scope of our youth homelessness problem, KUOW recently published an informative article about Washington students who are facing homelessness. I think it is worth a read.
My latest video discusses the work I will be doing next session to help our youth who are facing homelessness. I hope you can take a few minutes to watch.

Upcoming community coffees
When I recorded this video, we had not yet finalized the locations for our upcoming community coffees. Those locations are now locked in. Rep. Ramos and I look forward to seeing you there.
We will also be holding another round of community coffees next month in Fall City, Snoqualmie, and North Bend. Stay tuned for that information.
As always, please reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or suggestions you may have. You can reach me at (425) 295-2945 or at Lisa.Callan@leg.wa.gov.
Thank you,
Rep. Lisa Callan
