Story
A joint release of the City of Seattle and King County
The City of Seattle and King County have been awarded 2011-2012 federal homeless assistance funds totaling more than $21.5 million, providing renewal funding for 65 existing housing and supportive service programs helping people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. King County Executive Dow Constantine and Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn announced the award on January 19, 2011 following the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announcement of $1.4 billion awarded nationwide.
"These grants are critical as we work to help people find safe and stable housing to rebuild their lives," said Mayor McGinn, who sits on the Committee to End Homelessness Governing Board. "The McKinney funds are especially important in our efforts to preserve basic human services."
"Regional efforts to end the cycle of homelessness for so many of our most vulnerable residents hinge on the federal funding we receive each year through these housing and supportive service grants," said Executive Constantine, co-chair of the Committee to End Homelessness Governing Board. "We are extremely grateful for the strength of that partnership."
Community-based organizations joined with the City of Seattle and King County to submit the annual joint application for the McKinney funding that allows local governments and their many partners to provide essential housing and supportive services for homeless people. The funding is crucial to the ongoing work of the Committee to End Homelessness and the implementation of the Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness.
"Communities have to show that they are performing well in a number of areas and that they have compelling projects," said Bill Block, Project Director of the Committee to End Homelessness. "This award shows that our federal partners value our programs and recognize our progress."
The $21.5 million in McKinney grants that the Seattle/King County Continuum of Care received from HUD supports a total of 818 units of transitional housing, 849 units of permanent housing for homeless people with disabilities, and two Safe Haven facilities that offer supportive housing for severely mentally ill adults who have been homeless received continued funding. Also renewed was funding for the Safe Harbors Homeless Management Information System, which collects data on services provided to homeless people in programs throughout King County.
The attached chart provides detail on the Homeless Assistance Awards.
The Continuum of Care is already working on the 2011 application for next year.
