Seattle's Homeless

March 2015 marks the anniversary of a bold promise: King County’s 10-year plan to end homelessness. Now that the 10-year plan is ending and local homelessness is worse than ever, talk of ending homelessness is being replaced with less-lofty aspirations: making homelessness rare and brief when it does occur.

In collaboration with KUOW, we examine the roots of the plan, the challenges it faced, and where community and city leaders think we go from here.
