Chief Seattle Club for Native Americans in Need

A Seattle nonprofit is helping Native Americans who are homeless. Underscore reporting points out that helping those who are low-income and chronically homeless requires, in addition to basic shelter, case management and social, medical, and cultural services. While the article, and this particular shelter, focuses on the needs of Native Americans, the concept could be useful to any community trying to address the issues of long-term homelessness and substandard housing, both of which exist in Burns, Hines, and Harney County.
