Thank you Orca K-8 Penny Harvest for choosing SNG as your Grant Recipient!
We recently were awarded Orca K-8 School's Penny Harvest grant! Penny Harvest is a service-learning youth philanthropy program where youth between the ages of 4 and 18 convert their natural passion for others into action by collecting pennies and turning them into grants for community organizations. They studied community needs and organizations and chose to donate to us! Thanks Orca K-8!

Seattle Neighborhood Group Workshops for Landlords
Supporting landlords in acquiring and maintaining the broad skill set needed for crime free housing is the goal of our Landlord Training Project. SNG offers workshops for property owners and managers that give them the information and tools needed to create and maintain safe rental housing. All workshops are offered at very low cost, and cover important skills including:
- effective screening techniques to obtain good tenants
- learning how to handle evictions properly
- recognizing warning signs of criminal behavior on your property
- using CPTED to make changes to the property
- helping renters participate in the community
Participating in the workshops gives you the opportunity to talk with professionals in the field, getting direct answers to your questions. It also includes the comprehensive SNG Landlord Handbook.
Here is the agenda we use for the workshop, and here is the SNG Landlord Handbook table of contents.
Our workshop presenters are specialists from agencies including Seattle Police Department, Seattle Housing Authority, Seattle Neighborhood Group, local non-profit legal services, and successful landlords.
Next Landlord Training Workshops are scheduled for Wednesday, September 15th and Monday, November 15th. Our workshops are open to anyone, and are offered at a very low cost. The September 15th Landlord Workshop partners SNG with Porchlight in presenting workshops especially for landlords who provide housing through HUD Section 8, or people who are interested in learning about that program. Sign up for a workshop.
- Over 90% of our workshop participants made changes in how they were managing their properties.
- Over 90% of our participants tell us that they have improved their ability to screen tenants, recognize drug activity, and handle evictions.
- Prevention skills we teach in the workshop were reported to be the most valuable skills participants came away with.
