Seeking Families and Students of Color and Multicultural Families who have Experienced Housing Instaibility in the Kent or Tukwila School Districts 

If your family has experienced housing instability, please consider sharing your experience with local, community based non-profits Building Changes and the Equity in Education Coalition by attending one of our focus groups. Our focus groups will be a 2 hour group conversation with 12 other people. For attending a focus group, you will recieve a $40 Visa cash card. Also, food will be provided at each focus group. Your input will help us to advocate for more resources to address the needs of students and families of color in our communities.

What is housing instability?

Housing instability can mean not having a guaranteed place to sleep every night. It can also mean having to regularly sleep somewhere you or someone in your family doesn't feel safe. Sometimes housing instability looks like moving every few weeks or months, staying with relatives or friends because you have no other choice, spending nearly all of your income on housing, living in overcrowded housing, living in hotels or motels, living in your car, or living in tent, tent cities, shelters, or on the street.
