Upbeat on Jackson
Call for Musicians
"Upbeat on Jackson" is a monthly community concert series that takes place in the Central District at Ernestine Anderson Place once a month. The concert series is meant to pay tribute to the extraordinary legacy of jazz singer Ernestine Anderson long time resident of Seattle’s Central District and graduate of Garfield High School. The music series aims to bring community members together to create entertaining and spirited events that celebrate the history of the neighborhood.
The Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) and Seattle Department of Neighborhoods have joined together to host a new concert each month. Shows are free and open to the public and focus on a variety of genres with an emphasis on local musicians. Shows tentatively occur on the second Saturday of the month from 7:30-9:30pm. All concerts are free to the public. Musicians will be paid an honorarium.

Mission Statement
The Low Income Housing Institute develops, owns and operates housing for the benefit of low-income, homeless and formerly homeless people in Washington state; advocates for just housing policies at the local and national levels; and administers a range of supportive service programs to assist those we serve in maintaining stable housing and increasing their self-sufficiency.
Description
LIHI develops and provides affordable housing to 4,000+ low income, homeless and formerly homeless people, including families. In 2019, an estimated 11,199 people experienced homelessness in King County alone. Many of LIHI housing projects focus on transitioning families and individuals out of homelessness, including chronically homeless populations. Most of the units developed by LIHI are occupied by formerly homeless households.
LIHI assists our residents with services that help them maintain stable housing and prevent them from becoming homeless again (e.g. through improving resident income and/or education status, dealing with long standing mental and physical health conditions) and increase self-sufficiency.
We also help homeless individuals and families remain healthy & employed: LIHI operates the Urban Rest Stop - an innovative hygiene center for the homeless located in downtown Seattle; a safe, clean and dignified place where as many as 500 homeless individuals, families, elders and youth access restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities each day. This center is open seven days a week, with extended hours specifically designed to assist homeless persons who are working or seeking employment. 60% of URS patrons have steady employment, but can't earn enough income to afford the rent.
