Why Amazon Is Housing the Homeless in Seattle

Homeless families in Seattle now have an unlikely location to take shelter: a building that belongs to Amazon.

The tech giant announced last week that it was working with Mary's Place, a Seattle organization that offers services to the homeless, to turn a building on its downtown campus into a temporary shelter. The non-profit spent much of Monday morning moving in furniture and renovating the building, and expects at least a couple families to move in Monday afternoon.
