{ <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 housing 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 rapidly being <br />priced out of the market. Households of homeless and/or low to very low-income <br />seniors, disabled, youth or veterans would be placed through Coordinated Entry, which <br />would reduce pressure on the homeless response system in the county. <br />r'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. Employees are expected to be sensitive to all diversity within the population of <br />persons served by the organization, employee workforce, and community. <br />lZOth"r information you think would be beneficialfor 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.
