Wellness seeks comments on proposed expansion for Place of Change

/in

Suquamish Tribal Council has approved a comment period for proposed changes and expansion of the Place of Change program.

In a Oct. 21 briefing to Council, the Wellness Center’s Substance Use Disorder Supervisor Brian Burwell outlined a series of improvements that would tap $1.15 million in grant funding to:·

  • Replace the current basic “tiny home” shelter units with six more- robust units for transitional/recovery housing where residents would be actively engaged with Wellness and other social services with the tribe.
  • Repurpose three of the current units as emergency overnight shelters for unhoused tribal members for overnight use only.
  • Build an on-site clubhouse to host Wellness activities and recovery-focused community events.
