My name is Jess, and I am a Bellingham resident currently compiling a comprehensive file documenting errors, inconsistencies, and procedural failures in a local housing assistance program with the intention to try to bring awareness to how these programs are being implemented vs how they are intended and give a deeper context of the experiences of a very vulnerable population that has historically not been able to achieve much viable advocacy for themselves.
This project includes:
- Public records (including county meeting minutes where my concerns are documented)
- Program communications and case history
- A detailed timeline of events and discrepanciesu
I am looking for a student volunteer to assist with organizing and structuring this information into a clear, professional case file that could be used for advocacy, policy review, and potential legal action.
This would be a strong fit for students interested in:
- Public policy
- Pre-law / legal studies
- Social work or human services
- Government accountability and systems analysis
The work would involve organizing documentation, refining timelines, and helping present the material in a way that clearly highlights systemic issues and procedural breakdowns. No legal advice is required.
I am happy to meet in person and work collaboratively, and I can be flexible with scheduling.
