Dan Barry's weekly "This Land" column in the New York Times takes readers beneath news stories and into obscure and well-known corners of the country. This week, Barry writes about Seattle's 1811 Eastlake Project, which provides supportive housing for 75 formerly homeless men and women living with chronic alcohol addiction. 1811 Eastlake is the first housing program of its kind in Washington to use this innovative housing model for addressing the needs of chronic homeless alcoholics. Alan Marlatt and Mary Larimer of the UW Addictive Behaviors Research Center are evaluating the effectiveness of the program, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
