This project enables WWU student participation in the Sustainability Pathways and Climate Leadership Certificate programs in the Methow Valley by providing critically needed housing for the place-based, residential program. The project sought financial resources to purchase two tiny homes on trailers to accommodate up to four students; their funding from the SEJF was then matched by a private donor to purchase up to two additional homes. Funding is contingent, pending a thorough risk analysis completed by the university in June-July 2022.
