• 9 years old is the average age of a homeless person nationally.

• 5,808 of the homeless are in shelters and transitional programs – and 50% of people living in shelters are children ages 0-17.

Solid Ground will address these problems by building 106 units of affordable housing for 72 families and 34 individuals! We break ground in early 2010.

Building a great place to live for people who need a home

Solid Ground is building 106
new housing units at Sand Point for formerly homeless people – helping fulfill Seattle’s ongoing vision to reuse the Sand Point Naval Station. Combined with the 94 existing transitional housing units in renovated Navy buildings, there will be
a total of 200 housing units at Sand Point by 2012. The 106 new units will provide permanent housing and support services for hardworking families and individuals overcoming homelessness.
