The former Silver Cloud Inn in Redmond will temporarily house current and newly arrived refugees as a short-term program for individuals and families coming into the area.
The HTH initiative is a regional approach to address and curb chronic homelessness at a county-wide scale. It was created by Constantine in 2020.
The Redmond hotel will be repurposed for refugees as the county prepares the Federal Way building, previously used for refugee housing, for preparations to open as a HTH property, according to a statement from the county. “No matter the storm abroad, King County will always be a safe harbor,” said Constantine in a news release. “I am pleased that we can collaborate with so many local leaders and partners to ensure individuals and families have what they need as they prepare to make a new home in our region.”
Safe Eastside, an organization with the goal of reclaiming neighborhood safety, is in full support of this transition to house refugees.
