Encourage non-English Speakers to Participate in HALA Focus Group

Was checking the City's HALA (Housing Affordability and Livability) website and saw this:

Deadline is Friday February 26 for the general public, and Friday March 11 for non-English speakers. Email us at HALAapplication@Seattle.gov for more information.
