Seattle's homelessness crisis continues to disproportionately impact Black residents, who make up nearly 30% of the unhoused population despite being less than 7% of the city's total. Africatown Community Land Trust (ACLT) is addressing this disparity through Benu Community Home, a low-barrier shelter for Black men that focuses on healing, empowerment, and long-term stability. Since its opening, Benu Community Home has served over 250 guests, providing a crucial community resource during the COVID-19 pandemic. During this period, BENU has achieved several milestones, including developing a Theory of Change Strategy that can be replicated as a standard service model for trauma-informed care and culturally relevant programming.
