The following action comes from the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness:
Additional funding is needed in the County budget to maintain homelessness services.
The 2024 County budget does not include ANY new inflation or wage adjustments for homelessness services. Last year, our collective advocacy pushed the County Council to add $5 million for homelessness services. Your advocacy is needed to add funding to stabilize homelessness services and make sure that providers are treated fairly – no matter if their contract comes from Seattle or the County.
Tell County Council:
Add a 7.5% inflation adjustment and wage increase to ALL homelessness services contracts
Take Action!
