Delightful experience working with you all and looking forward to what's next for Third Door Coalition.

Hello World! Special thanks to Avery Hutcherson, who has generously volunteered her time to redesign Lunous’s logo, brand, and website: lunous.org. Thank you Avery, we are delighted to have worked with you.

We’re celebrating receiving our 501(c)3 determination letter this past year! Lunous is a non-profit organization in the PNW that focuses on systemic factors perpetuating homelessness. If you feel compelled to donate, you may do so here: buff.ly/3bmNXvq

"By identifying the interventions proven to be successful at moving the most important metrics of success, we believe we can create a less polarized path forward and inspire a new model of civic engagement and leadership that builds communities we can all be proud to call home."

"The commitment Lunous has to embrace curiosity, learn continuously, and a willingness to change makes me feel optimistic about the impact this organization might create." - Lauren Broomall, Vice President of Board of Directors. Read more: buff.ly/3oJ6tRK

"It was through this lens that I understood that solutions to this problem must include the people immediately impacted by homelessness. It’s important to me that I invest time to help see this happen in a meaningful way." Read more: buff.ly/3Jo9IY9

"I appreciate that Lunous is partially a ‘think tank’ in that, we figure out what work isn’t owned by any one organization and immerse ourselves in the gaps of measurement that could inform policy decisions if filled." - Maya Elliott, Lunous team member. buff.ly/3Jo9IY9

"I appreciate Lunous’ ability to play a role, and then easily walk away once that lever or action item is being owned by another organization." This is what Alicia Atkinson, Board of Directors, said when we asked her what she appreciates about Lunous. buff.ly/3Jo9IY9

"There are many non-profit, government, and community organizations working on solving key problems that contribute to homelessness. Lunous seeks to work across and between these organizations as a catalyst, rather than becoming another parallel organization working in one area."

Lunous is a unique organization that is both strategic in bringing participants to the table to discuss homelessness with a bird's eye view, providing the data to initiate conversations and change policy while also providing resources to drive decisions. buff.ly/3Jo9IY9

We engaged with a coalition of local non-profits to take a data-driven approach and analyze the cost of permanent supportive housing (PSH) compared to commercial housing development. Read More: buff.ly/3RkTSQT

This collaborative and unique effort is intended to ensure the impact of the many smart, passionate and committed people working to solve this shared crisis. If this approach inspires, enables or strikes your interest please visit our webpage for more info buff.ly/3Jo9IY9

We’re putting together a toolkit to help future leaders to launch new safe parking programs. Are there any safe parking programs we should talk to in order to add their insights? Let us know in the comments or through the contact form on our website: lunous.org/contact

"Working with people experiencing homelessness has been a passion of mine for 30 years. I joined the board because I love the work Lunous is doing and wanted to be part of the solution." Read more: buff.ly/3Jo9IY9

“The shrinking of the middle-class neighborhood is becoming a bigger problem across the country. Lunous assists organizations by collecting data that unveils housing pressure points, giving partners the needed data to move in assisting with these issues.” buff.ly/3o2mgeh

"For the most vulnerable among us, homelessness evaporates our dignity, choice, and safety. In the end, the well-being of an entire community can be measured by the day-to-day experience of its least fortunate members." Read more: buff.ly/3Jo9IY9

One of the things that helps us as a 501(c)3 organization is to demonstrate community support by the number of donations we receive. So, even a small donation helps us move forward. If you are ready to show your support, you can donate to Lunous here: buff.ly/3JjMMcM

The Lunous team had the opportunity to work with a safe parking program in the Puget Sound area. We are sharing this article in the hopes that the knowledge and insights we have gained might be helpful to emerging and existing safe parking programs. buff.ly/3Quqwk1

The Lunous team created a data tool to help better understand the supply of housing programs for people experiencing homelessness in WA. Contact us at [email protected] for a demo or a conversation about how this tool might best serve your community. buff.ly/3W5zCov
