From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Seattle King County area, there are about 12,500 homeless people living on the streets or in shelters.[1] On January 23, 2018, the street count of homeless individuals was 6320 (2015 = 3,772), the number of homeless individuals in Emergency Shelters was 3,585 (2015 = 3,282), and the number of homeless individuals in transitional housing was 2,285 (2015 = 2,993), for a total count of 12,112 (2015 = 10,047) homeless people.[1] The percentages by race of those living in shelters consisted of: African American 40%, White 31%, Hispanic 12%, Multi-racial 6%, Asian/Pacific Islander 4%, Native American 2%, with 5% unknown.[2] The trends show that combined efforts of Puget Sound, including the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness, to provide shelter, healthcare and other help for the homeless are having a positive impact, but that the numbers experiencing homelessness in the region are continuing to climb and, that the response is not adequate.[3]
