#TheDayWithTrae - Trae Holiday host of The Day with Trae, welcomed housing social services coordinator Telitha Floyd to discuss methods in bringing resources directly to residents through Floyd’s role at the property management company PK Management. Floyd's goal is to help residents "stay in their forever home,” despite the walls that hold them back from utilizing the help they need.  

Floyd emphasized the importance of vetting resources and strategizing how to connect them with communities in need to ensure their effectiveness and decrease the trauma associated with searching for services. Floyd shared that she developed a catalog of reliable community resources, covering everything from childcare to taxes, aiming to provide equitable access for elderly and developmentally disabled residents who may lack family support or face personal barriers.

As a social services coordinator, Floyd orchestrates monthly activities, including potlucks, storytelling, fitness, and educational programs, to foster a sense of belonging among the residents she serves. Notably, she has partnered with the Seattle Public Library for monthly book and video exchanges and the West Seattle Food Bank, which delivers fresh produce and meat directly to residents every Friday. Floyd hopes to see her model of direct, compassionate resource provision duplicated in other housing complexes and communities.

For service providers interested in connecting with her work, Floyd can be reached at tfloyd@pkmanagement.com or by phone at (206) 644-8141.
