This report highlights progress toward historic investments in housing and homelessness made during the 2022 WA State Legislative session
“The Governor and Legislature answered the call for leadership and funding in the 2022 legislative session with historic appropriations to lay the foundation for success in addressing the homelessness crisis. They made historic investments in the Supplemental Capital and Operating funds toward services and emergency and affordable housing, in addition to providing more funds in the biennial budget. Some of the funding was available from the federal American Rescue Plan Act. In this report, we summarize each of the mechanisms funded over the last two years, along with continuing needs for each, success to date, the priorities of voters, and next steps.”
