Camp Second Chance Mission Statement
November 2017

1. To operate a transitional encampment which maintains a safe and stable physical and social environment to provide shelter for people experiencing homelessness.
​

2. To help people move into permanent housing (in accord with City of Seattle’s goal of moving 40 percent of camp residents to permanent housing within 90 days) by connecting them with casework and other resources.

3. To build an extended community around the camp including supporters, volunteers, donors, and “alumni” (former residents who have moved out of the camp into permanent housing).

Data for Camp Second Chance
West Seattle Blog
February 6-7, 2019


Lily Rehrmann
 of HSD replied to part of our followup inquiry:
For the third quarter of 2018 (representing data from January 1 – September 30, 2018), Camp Second Chance had a rate of exits to permanent housing of 48%, meaning that of those households that exited CSC 48% entered permanent housing. This is the highest rate for all the permitted villages in the third quarter. The percentage represents 21 households entering permanent housing in the first 9 months of 2018.

That didn’t answer the question of how a citizen would routinely access the data, so we repeated it.

Rehrmann’s response:
The best place for a constituent to ask a question about homelessness results and data is by contacting [email protected]. There is some data that HSD queries in the regular course of business when we report quarterly results, including the below question about exits to permanent housing that we can answer fairly quickly. Some data we don’t pull automatically each quarter and that may be best accessed through a PDR request. We can offer that advice through [email protected].

We report quarterly results at a system level to the Council and on our blog, but I realize that may not be the level of data that folks are interested in.

​FUNDING FOR TINY HOUSES:
 Arrowhead Gardens resident Diane asked Stenger to clarify the money that’s being spent on tiny houses at C2C. Reply: The church raised $21,000 starting in spring 2016, then through “momentum” of community and church, that “ballooned to $40,000, and we’re kicking off a campaign to raise another $60,000.” One house generally costs $2500 to $3000, Stenger said, depending on what kind of material donations are available, or how much is available at reduced prices.

Good afternoon Mr. Walling and thank you CM Herbold.  I’m connecting you to Anne Burkland who can assist in answering your questions.  She is on vacation this week so can get in touch with you upon her return next week.  Of note, Public Health has developed the guidelines that the City uses with the City sanctioned encampments.  I’ve provided you a copy.  The guidelines ensure that health and safety standards are met when the encampment is set up as well as the oversight organization appointed by the City.  Thank you again for your email.

Dear Community:

Our next Community Advisory Committee Meeting for Camp Second Chance on Myers Way will be Sunday, May 7, 2-4 pm. We will meet at camp at 9701 Myers Way S. Seattle WA 98108. This will give everyone a chance to see recent improvements to the camp, like our potable water cistern and electricity! If the weather is fine and we have enough chairs, we will hold the meeting at the camp. If the weather is foul or we are short on chairs, then after the camp tour we will move to an indoor location. I have not yet secured a room but I'm working on it, and will get back to you with that location.

The official members of the committee have now been selected. If you would like to be wait listed for a spot on the official committee, please let me know. The committee members were selected by myself, committee chair Willow Fulton, and Tom Van Bronkhorst of the City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. We prioritized trying to balance membership to include representatives from all four neighborhoods bordering the camp: Top Hat, White Center, South Delridge, and South Park.

These meetings are open to the public, and we will be posting minutes of the meeting online. If you are unable to attend the meeting but would like to add to the discussion, feel free to email me. 

The purpose of this committee is to ensure good communication between the camp and the surrounding neighborhoods, so we can all work together for a safe and equitable neighborhood. Our goals at Camp Second Chance are: to be a safe and ethical community for people suffering from homelessness, to be good neighbors to both housed and unhoused people in our neighborhood, and to move participants up and out of homelessness as quickly as possible.

In addition to this meeting, which will specifically be about Camp Second Chance, the City of Seattle has also organized a public meeting about broader concerns about how homelessness is impacting Myers Way, including the unauthorized encampments outside of Camp Second Chance. Here is more info about that meeting:

Thank you all for everything you do to make Seattle a safe and compassionate community for all.

Best wishes,

Polly Trout
