Solid Ground envisions a community beyond poverty and oppression where all people have equitable opportunity to thrive.
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.

We've got just 48 days until Election Day, and WA state will have four initiatives on the ballot, all backed by multi-millionaires, that could have a devastating impact on our communities, neighbors, and children. For our communities and our future, please prepare to vote NO on these initiatives in November. https://lnkd.in/gP-m4fMM

Last month, the Kirkland team at Weidner Apartment Homes visited Solid Ground's Sand Point Housing campus to help with much-needed maintenance and upgrades, making the apartments even more inviting for over 400 residents who call Sand Point home. And what a difference it's made! We're grateful to have been a part of the Weidner Cares! program this year, which aims to build community through housing 🤝 https://bit.ly/4ej9NLk
