Creating solutions for homeless families.

Stability begins with a safe place to call home. In the Puget Sound region, the foundation continues to expand supportive housing options for homeless families, or families in danger of becoming homeless, through its Sound Families Initiative. In 2004, the foundation granted $2.3 million through 10 grants to housing developers and service providers to create new service-enriched housing for at-risk families in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. By the end of 2004, 846 new housing units had been funded through the Sound Families Initiative.
