The five-year plan calls for around $250 million of spending next year.
Seattle proceeds with second homeless camp cleanup this weekKING COUNTy — The King County Regional Homelessness Authority unanimously approved its five-year plan on Thursday.
The plan includes around $250 million of spending in 2024, the majority of which will be used to addressed temporary housing, building out more shelter options, and helping with outreach. That number sits far below what the KCRHA’s former CEO Marc Dones floated in, when they said it would cost between $1.7 billion and $3.4 billion annually to end homelessness in our region.
In the first two years of this plan, the KCRHA will focus in on a handful of priorities, including housing and shelter, building out a real-time tool that indicates the availability of beds across all shelter types, improved responses to severe weather events, and better data collection. “The full plan provides a roadmap and a set of action steps to achieve progress on each of these three levels, unifying and coordinating the homeless response system so that it is more transparent, accountable, and effective at reducing unsheltered homelessness,” the KCRHA said in a written release.
