Q&ATe Skid Row Housing Trust takes a really holistic approach to solving the homeless problem. Well, I think it has to do with what supportive housing is: having capital sources to actually create the housing, securing rental subsidies that make it possible for people to afford the rent; and then providing services that break the cycle of people getting into transitional housing or shelters and then returning to the streets.How did the designers become involved? Brian Furst got his mother, who is an interior designer, involved. She talked to some of her colleagues, who liked the design of the building and the work that we’re doing, and it went from there.And the night’s celebration? We felt like we should have a birthday. Year 20, that’s kind of a milestone… 22 buildings and more than 1,340 units for the most vulnerable people living in our city.
