King County is starting 2021 with plans to buy as many as a dozen hotels to permanently house hundreds of homeless people and provide them with services.
“We have every reason to believe that homelessness will get a lot worse after this pandemic unless we take bold action,” said Leo Flor, director of the King County Department of Community and Human Services.
The initiative is called Health Through Housing and it uses revenue from a .1% sales tax increase to develop a network of apartment-like shelters, with the goal of getting people out of tents, off of sidewalks, and into safe, clean homes.
In developing the plans, the county said it hopes to eventually house 45%, or 2,000 people, out of its chronically homeless population of 4,500.
The goal for 2021 is to create housing units for 1,500 people countywide, in former hotels and nursing homes throughout the county. https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/homeless/king-co-plans-to-buy-a-dozen-hotels-to-house-homeless-in-2021/281-242108da-7d5b-4021-b14b-38ee71979095
