It's clear that there is a LOT of innovative work and collaboration happening in Spokane. We were reminded time and time again how various agencies are partnering, cross referring, building alliances and sharing best practices.
It's also evident that there is a growing need for services in Spokane - and in so many communities across the state. As the economy worsens and winter descends, the number of displaced individuals and families in Spokane is growing. And the stress on food banks, emergency shelters, transitional and permanent housing has never been greater.
We were particularly honored to meet with and learn from some clients at various agencies - individuals who opened their hearts, and in some cases their homes, to our visiting group. One who stands out was Trina from Transitions.
