{ <br />Project the fully implemented local plans on the number of households <br />housed and the number of households left unsheltered, assuming existing <br />resources and state policies. <br />This project will add an additional 16 units to the County homeless stock, a priority of <br />Objective 4 in the recently updated homeless plan. The plan also shows an increased <br />need for housing that targets senior, disabled, and veteran households who are rapidly <br />being priced out of the market. This project will serve Chronically Homeless <br />Households (those with a disabling condition and homeless for a year or more, or 4 <br />episodes in the last two years). Homeless households will be placed through <br />Coordinated Entry, which will reduce pressure on the homeless response system in the <br />county. <br />{Address racial disparities amongst people experiencing homelessness <br />HopeSource recognizes that race and economic status can significantly limit the <br />opportunities of program participants and acknowledge the unequal impact of these <br />factors and works to prepare program participants to overcome systemic racism in <br />housing, education, asset building, income, employment, and access to high-quality <br />food. lt is the expectation that employees are sensitive to all diversity within the <br />population of persons served by the organization and the employee workforce. <br />r'Other information you think would be beneficial for the Committee to know <br />HopeSource priorities and the priorities of the Homeless and Affordable Housing <br />committee are strongly aligned with Governor lnslee's Reducing Poverty and lnequality <br />10-Year Plan.
