Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness

You have a voice in the fight for housing justice. We help you use it. 

The Coalition on Homelessness is the leading advocacy organization for housing and homeless services in King County. Our advocacy is informed by the work of our more than 50 member organizations that provide housing, shelter, healthcare, and supportive services to people experiencing homelessness in King County. Together, we speak up for investments in supportive housing, quality shelter, skilled outreach, healthcare, and other vital resources in King County and Washington state.

We create opportunities for civic engagement through our Take Action! emails, our Housing Justice Advocacy trainings, and our nonpartisan voter education and registration events that help eligible voters experiencing poverty, homelessness, and housing instability participate in choosing who represents them.

The Coalition also provides professional development opportunities for the staff and volunteers at our member organizations. Our monthly membership meetings are places for service providers and the general public to connect, learn, and share resources across populations and programs. Our free training series helps case managers and other public service staff understand and navigate public benefit programs so they can better serve their clients.

We provide essential school supplies to students experiencing homelessness through our Project Cool for Back-to-School program, which served 1,804 students across 24 housing and shelter programs in King County in 2025.
