Dear Health Professional Students,
The Tent City Collective, in partnership with Health Equity Circle, is gauging opinions on a potential hosting of Tent City 3 at UW. Tent City 3 (TC3) is a city-sanctioned tent encampment that has nomadically resided (moving approximately every 90 days) in King County since 2000. Seattle University hosted TC3 in 2005; and Seattle Pacific University hosted TC3 twice, in 2012 and again through winter 2014-2015. Tent cities are under 24-hour surveillance by the sites’ own residents, and provide covered shelter for individuals and families. They provide a community-run location to keep belongings and to securely sleep, allowing residents to focus on other tasks: going to appointments, looking for work, and planning for the future. Tent City Collective is a team of University of Washington (UW) students, alumni, TC3 residents, and community members working to bring TC3 to UW’s campus. We are trying to gauge interest and general knowledge of Tent City 3. Please fill out this survey!
Thank you for contributing your perspective!
