Paul Allen donates $30M for Seattle homeless

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Billionaire Paul Allen pledged $30 million for new housing for homeless families in Seattle.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray made the announcement Wednesday, which prompted audible gasps inside the Mercy Othello Plaza Apartments.

Bill Hilf, the Vulcan and Allen Foundation CEO, said Paul Allen has recognized the need for more support for the issue, emphatically saying it was "his city" and he wanted to help it.

The city is chipping in an additional $5 million for what's being called a partnership.

The money will be used to build a service center and housing.

1. Thank you Paul Allen...

...and frankly, it's about time. Come on, Bezos. You also need to pony up also. A very select group of men made a shitload of money in Western Washington, and no man is an island. It is time for the wealthiest among us to help the least among us... That is unless you want the torches and pitchforks.
