"We Make It Happen, Because That’s What We Do" – Building Changes Works to End Young Adult Homelessness in King County
The ecology of homelessness has many layers, but one thing is clear: the needs of homeless youth and young adults tend to be overshadowed by single adult and family homelessness. In King County alone, some 1,000 young people between 18 and 25 years old are homeless at any given time.
Building Changes is working to end homelessness in the State of Washington, and our efforts are bringing the needs of homeless young adults to policymakers and funders. Last year, Building Changes’ staff led the establishment of strategies for ending young adult homelessness in King County and helped design a competitive proposal that resulted in funding for 15 service-enriched young adult housing units in Federal Way, Auburn, and Kent.
