“For the past several years, the county has been wrestling with the dilemma of homelessness. The Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness is an ambitious effort to transform how we approach the issue and how public and private partnerships can provide services. The Executive’s leadership will go a long way towards ensuring King County’s involvement and commitment to this project.

“Homelessness is solvable - but it will only be solved when we meet this problem head on and as a community. I am encouraged that the Executive has pledged to take an active role to develop policies that get people of the streets and back on their feet.”
