She also volunteered as an English language tutor, assisted immigrants new to Seattle and earned a doctorate in multicultural education. In 2000, Agnes bought a home in the Seattle Housing Authority’s NewHolly community to be closer to many of the immigrant families she had mentored and befriended. Her investment in that home helped pay for the care she needed before she passed away last December. SHA recently learned that as part of her remaining estate Agnes left $150,000 to SHA’s NewHolly Community Builders program, a legacy to support the community she loved and lived in for 18 years.SHA seeks public comment on Housing Choice Voucher Administrative Plan
