How well is the homeless response system meeting the need for services?
We aim to understand the homeless response system’s ability to meet the demand for services from households experiencing homelessness in King County. When the number of households entering the homeless response system is higher than the number of those exiting it, we expect to see the number of households experiencing homelessness and receiving services increase. The wider the gap is between entries and exits – with fewer households becoming homeless and more households ending their experience of homelessness – the better our system will be able to support households in need.
