Pierce County's ambitious plan to serve all populations experiencing homelessness is highlighted in a blog post written by Building Changes' Deputy Director, Alice Shobe, for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation:

In Pierce County, that number will hopefully be lower, thanks to the effort of county and nonprofit leaders who worked tirelessly last year to revamp their community’s response to homelessness.
