Penni's Story

Penni and her daughter are some of the first residents to move into Brettler Family Place at Sand Point Housing. During her first year there, she also contributed a year of service with Solid Ground's Washington Reading Corps of King County.

At Brettler, Penni and her daughter have found a true community where they can continue to work toward their personal goals while making friends and working to undo racism. Read her story (pages 2 & 3).

Joy's Story

At the Brettler Family Place Grand Opening on Thursday, 4/7/11, Joy Sparks had 150 guests and residents tearing up with her powerful and moving speech about what living at Brettler Family Place means to her and her family.

With about one month of residency at the time, Joy spoke as an “elder” in our new community here. She spoke with wisdom about the journey she has undertaken and the value of safe, affordable
housing.

Kelly's Story

Kelly and her daughter (also Kelly!) lived for about a year in transitional housing at Sand Point. When we spoke with her in December, she was applying for work and did not yet know that her application to Brettler Family Place would be approved.

Kelly now has a job, and she and her daughter became the very first residents to move into the new housing at Brettler Family Place! Read their story (pages 2 & 3).
