UPDATED: "Together Center" Grand Opening Celebration, Part One

Janet Richards
Together Center Board Member - Equity Advocate

"Another friend said, “every city needs a Together Center”. I could not agree more. I’m very proud that my city has made it happen first for other cities to follow.

Huge congratulations to:
👏🏾 the Together Center staff (can you believe a small but mighty team of Four people!)
👏🏾 the TC board who played such an active role in leadership and action
👏🏾 the Redmond city human services staff, Council and Mayor Birney
👏🏾 the corporate sponsors like Microsoft and Amazon (who invested millions)
👏🏾 the many donors
👏🏾 government leaders who put in place funding policies for innovative development (this is what systemic change looks like!! To give other forms of development a chance to compete in creating housing)
👏🏾 the non-profit community who work tirelessly for our communities
This is a dream fulfilled in so many ways, in others it far exceeds my wildest dreams."
