Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The mission of Be:Seattle is to build the power and leadership of renters and people experiencing homelessness to fight displacement and increase access to housing in Seattle that is healthy, safe and affordable for all. Through renter education and organizing, street outreach and mutual aid, and advocating for policies that prioritize housing safety, equity, and stability, Be:Seattle works to make Seattle more livable for those most impacted by housing injustice.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
In 2021, we hosted 12 Building Tenant Power workshops, joined forces with community partners to lead the Stay Housed, Stay Healthy and House Our Neighbors coalitions, and distributed thousands of essential needs items to people experiencing homelessness and outreach workers. We worked closely with community organizations and city councilors to rally for support for the eviction moratorium and its extension. Organizers work and continue to develop positive relationships and build trust with tenants around a common struggle for housing rights. This work is transformative for renters, who learn their rights and connect their stories to a larger struggle for housing access. We made 200,000 meaningful points of outreach to tenants receiving detailed information on Be:Seattle services, Seattle laws and resources, and eviction prevention resources through digital content, printed material, or one-on-one conversation.$0$106,359
