SEATTLE (AP) — A group that operates homeless shelters in Seattle says members will continue sleeping outside the Gates Foundation headquarters this week, seeking more funding for their SHARE-WHEEL organization.
The seattlepi.com reports (http://bit.ly/nIfJhg ) dozens of people slept on plastic on the sidewalk Tuesday night, for a second night.
A member of the SHARE-WHEEL board of directors, Monty Smith, said the demonstration will likely continue for the rest of the week.
In a statement, Gates Foundation Pacific Northwest initiatives director David Bley says the foundation has committed more than $100 million in the region to address the problem of homelessness.
