Every year, non-profits go out to the streets in King County and count how many people are homeless. In January of 2018, more than 12,000 individuals were found to be experiencing homelessness in Seattle/King County. Fifty-two percent (52%) of homeless people were unsheltered, living on the street, or in parks, tents, vehicles, or other places not meant for human habitation. Homelessness had increased 4% since 2017, and the unsheltered population had increased by 15%! There’s another report coming up in May and something tells me, things have not improved much...
