The King County Housing Authority and Building Changes collaborated on the creation of this report to broadly disseminate the lessons of the South King County Housing First Pilot (SKC HFP) for chronically homeless single adults. SKC HFP is highly innovative in both the problem it addresses – chronically homeless individuals in a largely suburban setting – and the role that the housing authority played in providing critical housing support. The report is designed to help other public housing authorities replicate SKC HFP‘s successful model in their communities and to demonstrate the benefits of the more flexible use of Section 8 voucher funds made possible by HUD‘s Moving to Work program.
