SPOKANE, Wash. — The Inland Northwest is growing faster than our housing supply can keep up with and it is squeezing locals out of our community.
The pandemic flipped our housing crunch into a full-blown housing crisis and community organizations like “The ZoNE” are working to guide people facing the possibility of eviction.
The ZoNE conducts phone surveys, goes door-to-door and hosts workshops to help families with the rental application process.
Stacy Lenz, a Community Engagement Coordinator with The ZoNE, says a very different version of homelessness comes through their doors.
“They are multi-generational families or they’re parents with children or grandparents raising children,” said Lenz.
