Clearly, that\u2019s not the case and we will be in this disruptive, disconcerting place for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p>This new world we are in requires us to re-look at how we are doing things. Not only how each of us does our work but how we reach out to those we serve.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I was pleased to hear we are focused on reaching out to our residents where they\u2019re \u201cat.\u201d\u00a0 To that end, we are strategically placing advertising for those who will benefit most in the places they already visit.<\/p>\n<p>For example, research shows that our Veterans are avid listeners of KIRO Radio.\u00a0 So, our team in Human Services is creating an ad campaign that talks about how we can assist them with messages targeted directly to them during the times they listen the most.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, we are buying television advertising during shows most popular with renters so that they know there is help available to them as they may be struggling to make their monthly rent payments.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the housing assistance video here:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed wp-block-embed-youtube is-type-video is-provider-youtube epyt-figure\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_74066\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7qyx0vsKuBA?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=1&playlist=7qyx0vsKuBA&modestbranding=0&rel=0&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/figure>\n<p>And,\u00a0be sure to help spread the word by sharing these and other messages in your social networks.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll see and hear more of these messages as time goes on.
