Health through Housing expands to the Eastside
On Wednesday, I joined King County, City of Redmond and community leaders to announce the purchase of the 144-unit Silver Cloud Hotel located in Redmond that will provide permanent supportive housing for people experiencing chronic homelessness. Funding for this critically needed housing came from a 0.1% sales tax that the King County Council authorized last year.
These 144 housing units will change people’s lives. It will move them off the streets and into safety and stability. This year alone, King County has purchased hotels that will provide approximately 433 homes for King County’s chronically homeless residents. I'm thrilled to see King County’s Health through Housing effort take root on the Eastside as part of a regional strategy to address homelessness. Thanks to the City of Redmond for their partnership in making this purchase happen.
