Скачать или смотреть Hon. Lisa Herbold: Mary's Place History Interview

Former Seattle City Councilmember Lisa Herbold became involved with Mary's Place as a legislative aide to former Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata. Advocacy for families experiencing homelessness and bringing awareness to the problem of homelessness in Seattle has always been a part of the mission at Mary's Place. From Lisa's perspective as a member of local government, she saw Mary's Place advocate for better policy to address the immediate needs of families sleeping outside. Mary's Place educated local government officials on what families were facing and welcomed opportunities to come together to solve these issues. Lisa feels Mary's Place has had a tremendous impact on how city governments and service providers work together. Ultimately, Lisa would love to see a day when Mary's Place is not needed, and all families in Seattle have a safe and warm place to stay. "I don't want Seattle to be a city where children sleep outside," Lisa said.
