As you can read about in our latest blog, this road has been a bumpy one! We have been working since 2013 to bring housing solutions where they are really needed. The issues are complicated and we won’t give up. But we have to change course and spend our energy where we see it doing the most good.

We have submitted some of our designs to the City of Seattle for pre-approvals as Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs), but otherwise have decided that we can no longer keep Close to Home up and running.

Looking toward the Open Door…

Helen Keller, in a speech given in New York City in the winter of 1921 said, “To keep on trying in spite of disappointment and failure is the only way to keep young and brave. Failures become victories if they make us wise-hearted.”

The road for Close to Home has been one paved with many interesting lessons and we like to think that we’ve remained young and brave, but the grey hairs may speak to something else!
