Homelessness

The King County Mental Health Plan (KCMHP) works closely with the Committee to End Homelessness in King County, the Seattle and King County Housing Authorities, mental health providers, and affordable housing providers to develop new housing opportunities for homeless persons with mental illness and/or substance abuse.

We contract with two mental health providers, the Downtown Emergency Service Center and Valley Cities Counseling and Consultation to provide homeless outreach activities in Seattle and South King County.

The Shelter Plus Care Program, Hopelink’s Housing Access and Services Program and a number of Housing First programs are examples of programs specifically for adults with long-term homelessness.
