The Seattle Street Sink: Engaging Community while Addressing a Public Health Crisis

Fall Conference Proceedings

Author(s): Elizabeth M. Golden & Richard Mohler

This paper will discuss how the Seattle Street Sink responds to a crisis by building bridges between the design disciplines and the community at large. It outlines strategies for individual and community education and empowerment, and reviews the benefits and pitfalls of government funding, regulation and bureaucracy. And, it will account the risks of entering the fray of public policy discourse regarding one of the most politically divisive issues confronting many fast growing U.S. cities–homelessness.
