Need for Homeless Solutions in King County
It is estimated that in greater King County there are more than 16,000 people who are experiencing homelessness. That is an increase of more than 20% in two years and is the equivalent size of the population of some of the cities on the Eastside. Of that number, 60% are unsheltered and 40% have found at least temporary shelter. (KCRHA Point-in-Time report)
