Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness

Mission

We mobilize our community to challenge systemic causes of homelessness and advocate for housing justice.
We envision a region that acts on a shared sense of responsibility to ensure everyone has a home.
Our core values are equity, justice, and collective action. 

Description

Everyone deserves a home. We know that homelessness is solvable. We advocate, educate, and organize to shine light on what people without homes go through, illuminate what works to house, shelter, and care for people, and move our community forward to support those real, lasting solutions.  Something like 50,000 of our neighbors will be homeless at some point this year: working folks, parents and children, youth and adults, veterans, elders, cousins, uncles, and aunties. 
 
As a true Coalition, we unite passionate and diverse individuals and over 50 community-based organizations on the front lines of response to the crisis of homelessness and the lack of affordable homes. The roots of these crises are structural, and include decades of disinvestment in housing, and centuries of discrimination, racism, inequality and sexism. 

Our staff listen to folks on the ground. Every month we convene people who work in this sector to listen to them, check in on what's working and what's not. This informs our advocacy as we work together to increase access to homes, shelter, and services for those who need them. We ground policy discussions with evidence of what works, and lift the voices and experiences of people who know homelessness first-hand.  

Please help us reach our twin goals of 150 donors and $45,000.
