egm was recently featured in The Daily Herald, which covered a homelessness panel hosted at egm on May 19, bringing together nearly two dozen social service providers, government agencies, and private sector voices from across Snohomish County.
John Hull, egm’s CEO, set the tone for the discussion, noting that solving homelessness takes more than any one organization, city, or funding source — it takes a full continuum of care, from immediate crisis response to long-term housing solutions built on strong county-wide partnership.
The panel that followed included Housing Hope CEO Kathryn Opina, Mountlake Terrace Mayor Pro Tem Bryan Wahl, and homebuilder Darin Huseby, who dug into the real barriers to progress: the need for better coordination between agencies, the value of early intervention, and the regulatory and cost hurdles standing in the way of building more affordable starter homes. Cocoon House CEO Joseph Alonzo added a reminder that resonates deeply with egm’s own mission — that behind every statistic is a person with a name, a face, and a story worth knowing.
