A newly built residential complex in Seattle is offering unhoused Indigenous people a new lease on life.
The Chief Seattle Club has opened the doors to ʔálʔal, an 80-unit apartment building reserved for low-income and unhoused urban Natives in Washington's King County.ʔálʔal, pronounced"all-all," means"home" in Lushootseed, an Indigenous language spoken by local Salish tribes.
"The crisis of Native homelessness is the result of US policy.""It's a crisis that needs to be addressed with culturally appropriate solutions," he said."The data is clear. Rates of long-term success are higher when people are served by members of their own community."The building is expected to house nearly 100 individuals, with each apartment costing around $200 to $300 a month, CNN affiliate KING-TV reported.
