TACOMA, WA – Monday morning, Tacoma Housing Now (THN) released a bingo card for their newly minted game: “Empty Words with Woodards: Bingo with the Mayor.”
THN stated: “We gave Mayor Woodards our number while negotiating with Tacoma Police and asked her to call us, so we could negotiate with her directly. She never called us. A few hours after we gave her our number, her police department showed up — after dark — to evict us back onto the cold streets where our friends have been freezing to death. 20 officers in hazmat suits threatened us with felonies for simply wanting a safe place to sleep.”
This overwhelming display of state intimidation was in response to THN’s having taken the empty Gault Middle School for Emergency Pandemic Housing.
While THN hasn’t heard from the Mayor, the group says it already knows what she’s going to say. Therefore, THN invites the community to join in the fun with their bingo card below.

Tacoma housing now is a joke. A bunch of white devil’s acting as if they give a s**t about homelessness in tacoma. The white trash female leading this isn’t even from 2coma53. The mayor is fake as f**k, she and the previous mayor strickland are lap dog for liberal whites to hand feed. Mayor woodard is the tool that white liberal use to control, convince, and or force african american blacks to vote and comply. The hilltop is proof of this. A historically black community white washed so that fake white liberal can gentrify and erase black history. Tacoma housing now and the mayor are equally evil as f**k.

Hi, hilltop started Western European/Slavic poor neighborhoods. I agree fully^^^^^^ and race definitely is a weapon. I just ask that you use your head… it’s about the haves and the have nots. The I5 corridor is a rough gig, Tacoma/nw needs to open its eyes and reassess the few benefits of resource competition. Tacoma needs to be ready to embrace a different mode than capitalism for community management

Not a big fan of Strickland or Woodards because if you cared you would look into their priorities which are not the constituents the taxpayer, the voters they are in the pocket of big unregulated money. The are unethical as anyone is if they are doing the bidding of for profit lobbyists and not demanding that for profit capitalism owes the welfare of the people for their profits. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER, IT TAKES ETHICS AKA EMOTIONALLY MATURE ADULTS TO UNDERSTAND THAT NO ONE IN INDEPENDENT OF THE SOCIETY THAT MADE THEM AND THAT THEY DEPEND ON! IF THERE ARE HOMELESS WE ALREADY KNOW THE WHYS! LACK OF LIVING WAGE JOBS, ,LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, LACK OF AFFORDABLE MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES THAT WILL REHABILITY THE HOMELESS. GET OF YOU COMPUTER AND YOUR NEVER ENDING SELF-PROMOTION AND CARE. WORK WITH THE FAITH COMMUNITIES TO BRAIN STORM THIS INHUMANITY TO MAN ALL FOR PROFIT. PEOPLE BEFORE PROFITS. IF FEEDING PEOPLE WAS THE ANSWER WE WOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS MORE THAN JUST FEEDING PEOPLE ITI IS GIVING THE A PLACE TO LIVE AND A JOB. AND OF COURSE THE HOMELESS ALSO HAVE TO REALIZE THEY PLAYED A ROLE IN THEIR HOMELESSNESS. THE TRUTH IS WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE ESPECIALLY THE UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACITICES THAT IS WHY I DID NOT VOTE FOR STRICKLAND SHE HOOKED HERSELF UP TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WHICH IS A FOR PROFIT LOBBY NOT IN ANY WAY WORKING TO UPLIFT THOSE WHO ARE VUNERABLE.
SHE WAS AND WILL BA AN OPPORTUNISTIC FOR PROFIT FOR THE MORBIDLY RICH MONEY HOARDERS WHO USE THEIR WEALTH TO SELF PROMOTE THEMSELVES AND NOT MAKE THE MOVES TO START THE HEALING. HEALING PROVIDE HOUSING, MENTAL HELP AND SPIRITUAL HEALING NOT JUST FOOD AND GET LOST GO AWAY MENTALITY. WE ARE ALL CONNECTED WE ARE NOT AN ISLAND UNTO OURSELVES.
