King County’s Health Through Housing (HTH) initiative is currently housing over 1,000 formerly homeless King County residents, a major milestone! This effort, within the Department of Community and Human Services’ (DCHS) Housing and Community Development Division, is a critical part of King County’s efforts to end homelessness through emergency and permanent supportive housing. The initiative combines stable housing with onsite services, which has been shown to improve residents’ health and keep them in the communities they call home.

The HTH team opened multiple sites in the past few months and are continuing to move people in, ending their experience of chronic homelessness. A special thank you to the Facilities and Management Division for their continued partnership and dedicated work making this happen. You can learn more about this impactful program on the Heath Through Housing website, and in a recent blog about the new, life-changing Booker House in Federal Way. Way to go, Health Through Housing team!”
