A $40 million commitment from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation launched the Sound Families Initiative, a program to develop new housing with support services for homeless families, or families in danger of becoming homeless in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties.
This program will help homeless families in a number of ways beyond putting a roof over their heads. Research has shown housing alone is probably insufficient to pull families out of homelessness. Services include on-site case management, job search and referral services, and tenant education.
Evaluation is an integral part of the Sound Families Initiative. The latest evaluation update prepared by the University of Washington School of Social Work illustrates positive results for homeless families.
