A roof over every bed: our community's Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness in King County
The Ten-Year Plan to End Homeless in King County offers a blueprint for how the region will work together to confront the issues that cause homelessness and create the housing and supportive services needed to end homelessness for the thousands of men, women and children who currently live without a permanent roof over their heads.
The plan, introduced in March 2005, has been approved by the Metropolitan King County Council and endorsed by cities representing 85 percent of the county's population, as well as by dozens of social organizations and faith communities countywide.

Background
The plan was developed by a coalition of more than 30 housing and service providers, faith organizations, businesses, county and city governments, homeless people and homeless advocates. The Ten-Year Plan and the establishment of the Committee to End Homelessness in King County were fully launched in July 2005.
Who is involved
We are all in this together. The Committee to End Homelessness in King County includes community leaders - in business, social services, faith, housing, government, philanthropy, and more - who have come together as never before to take a stand and make a difference. Individuals who are, or were homeless contribute at every level and on every committee. None of this would work however, without the broad community support and involvement that already exists and is growing.
