Collaboration is Key to fix King County’s homelessness Crisis
By Gary Locke & Ron Sims (Original source The Seattle Times)
“More than 11,000 people are experiencing homelessness in King County and Seattle. That is a big problem — but communities around the country have implemented effective policies and solutions, and so can we.
