Committee to End Homelessness

• 1. Find out more about homelessness in King County.

• 2. Advocate to build support for the Ten-Year Plan by talking with neighbors, friends and government officials.

• Addressing homelessness

  

  Addressing homelessness is important because it is a bellwether for our society. It tells us if our education system is working, our criminal justice system is working, our physical and mental health systems are working, and whether we are providing our community members the support and opportunities they need.

2013 Progress Report—Homeless Housing and Services Fund

Since 2005, the Washington State Legislature authorized a series of document recording fee surcharges to be used to implement state and local plans to end homelessness. In King County, the surcharge revenue is called the Homeless Housing and Services Fund (HHSF). Annually, HHSF funded projects serve approximately 2,454 households (4,232 individuals.) The HHSF also provides funding for the King County Landlord Liaison Project (LLP), a critical resource for homeless housing programs throughout King County.
