How to Reach Us
Even before the City of Seattle took over ownership of Puget Sound Naval Station in 1993, Solid Ground played a leadership role, along with other agencies, in developing services for homeless people at Sand Point.
As a founding member of the Sand Point Community Housing Association, we helped convert six decommissioned Navy buildings into 94 units of housing for homeless people. We’ve helped provide the case management and other services Sand Point residents need to achieve stability, security and confidence to improve their lives. Since 1999, more than 1,600 people have stayed at Sand Point in their journey from homelessness to stability.
In preparation for launching Phase II of the Sand Point housing plan, Solid Ground was asked to take over management of the existing housing facilities and assume leadership in developing up to 106 additional units onsite. In the coming years we will work with the community and partner agencies to achieve this vision for homeless housing at Sand Point by adding critically-needed housing and support services to make Sand Point a successful component of our community’s 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness.
Sand Point Housing Advisory Committee (SPHAC)
Solid Ground established the Sand Point Housing Advisory Committee (SPHAC) to involve the local community in Sand Point's progress on an ongoing basis. Comprised of neighborhood residents, members of various neighborhood councils, and local organization and business members, the group meets monthly to keep informed and provide feedback on current housing programs updates and future housing development. For more information about this committee, please contact Kira Zylstra, Sand Point Housing Liaison, 206.517.5499 or kiraz@solid-ground.org.
