Housing the unhoused decreases public costs.

New data shows that King County's Health Through Housing program helps residents maintain stable housing and improve health.

95% of supportive housing residents maintained a stable home.

Residents had 33% shorter hospital stays, 22% fewer hospital stays and a 17% decrease in ER visits.

Health Through Housing combines housing with onsite services like workforce training, financial planning, health care, food programs and case management.
