About us
Our communities are stronger when we support stability and break down the barriers to overcoming poverty. Solid Ground combines direct services with advocacy to meet basic needs, nurture success, and spread change. Through 20+ programs, people gain stability and build skills that equip them to move forward in their lives. We work toward ending racism and other oppressions embedded in our institutions, policies, and culture that hold people back from succeeding. By amplifying the voices of people experiencing poverty throughout the political process, we further social justice and support our entire community in reaching its fullest potential. Each Year more than 65,000 King County residents engage with Solid Ground to address their urgent food, housing & transportation needs, while changing the institutional practices & policies that perpetuate poverty.

When Eliseo (EJ) Juárez joined Solid Ground’s advocacy partner Statewide Poverty Action Network in 2011, he spent a lot of time “talking to people across the state who seemed to be talked about a lot but never talked directly to”. Since then, EJ’s work has taken him deeper into community, and further up in leadership — most recently with the Department of Natural Resources as their Director of Equity and Environmental Justice.

August is National Make-A-Will Month, a timely reminder for all of us to ensure our wishes are honored and our loved ones taken care of. It's also a moment to reflect on the causes close to our hearts, like our collective mission at Solid Ground, where over the past 50 years, we've helped one million people build paths out of poverty. In this spirit of foresight and compassion, we've partnered with @FreeWill to offer an accessible estate planning tool. In 20 minutes, you can secure peace of mind for yourself and extend your commitment to neighbors in need – without any cost today. https://lnkd.in/gJnbMRvj

Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that local governments are free under the Constitution to fine and jail people who sleep in public places, even if they have nowhere else to go at night. Homelessness is one of those societal problems that is too often left to law enforcement agencies that are ill-equipped to handle it. Our region can choose, and must choose, to do better. A letter from our CEO: https://bit.ly/3Yn0Sn5
The Supreme Court's ruling on homelessness is backwards and cruel. It's also a distraction from real solutions. - Solid Ground
