With Sound Families wrapping up at the end of 2007 and a growing Washington Families Fund supporting service-enriched housing efforts throughout the state, we are continuing to explore solutions to the problem of family homelessness in our region.

Despite the success of our investments, families in our state and across the country continue slipping into homelessness, and the trend shows no signs of slowing. We hope to build on Sound Families by learning more about how the needs of families on the brink of homelessness could be met, finding ways to quickly house families that do become homeless, and continuing to strengthen the connection between housing and other kinds of support.
