Capitol Lake

Uh, and a beautiful place, Olympia, Washington.

Capitol Lake, I think is the name-

Mm

... of the, the very pretty lake up there.

When we first started, our first program was the Scattered Site Pilot Project, which was really focused on providing what we call shelter in place support for people who are living outdoors.

So At the time, we were working with the largest camps in the area, so the jungle, Ensign Road by the hospital, the large camp that was around Capitol Lake, to provide support to, again, just keep people as safe and stable as possible where they were, including case management, garbage removal, providing people with warming supplies, shelter supplies, harm reduction, all of that.

And since that time you know we've continued to shift and grow our services just to try to meet the needs and fill the gaps wherever we can so outreach really is the heart of our organization it's where we started and it's what we've always continued to provide through throughout our existence and that.

takes a few different forms uh the the main service we're known for is our site support services so again that's the that's our team that's going out wherever people are finding shelter outdoors so in the camps on the streets downtown under bridges in the woods and that program provides support like water refills so making sure people have access to potable water providing propane and firewood so that people can keep themselves warm and cook safely, providing shelter supplies like tents and tarps, sleeping bags so people can have some basic protection from the elements.
