Founded in Seattle in 2010 by architect Rex Hohlbein, Facing Homelessness is a nonprofit organization built on the idea that we can end homelessness if we invite the community to be a part of the solution.
The Block Project, a Facing Homelessness program, builds healthy, fully equipped tiny homes for people experiencing homelessness. BLOCK Homes are permitted and placed in residential backyards throughout Seattle by welcoming homeowners. This model gives residents a place to call home and communities around the city an opportunity to make a real difference by supporting our unhoused neighbors and addressing the issue of homelessness together.
