Working together on solutions to homelessness. Housing is a basic human need that everyone should have access to.

After a decision by the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals last Wednesday to allow the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) to proceed with the FY 2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), HUD has reopened the FY 2026 NOFO with a submission deadline of September 30.

KCRHA is completing the work necessary to submit a competitive CoC application, including collaborating with the CoC Board, CoC membership, and the broader community to create the FY 2026 Priority List for submission next week.

You can now read more, including the FY 2026 NOFO Priority List, here: https://kcrha.org/news-hud-fy26-nofo-information-updates/

Every day, the Homelessness Response System (HRS) in King County serves thousands of community members, not only to provide resources and services, but to make sure each person who interacts with the system is treated with dignity and respect. To strive for this consistency and to identify gaps in our system, KCRHA has an Ombuds Office, a department which offers a way for constituents to voice their concerns about services they receive or any other issues that may impact them. Click through to see what happens when a community member reaches out to the Ombuds Office, and learn more about the Ombuds Office in our recent blog: https://kcrha.org/news-ombuds-the-feedback-loop-that-improves-the-homelessness-response-system/

During our region's time as a FIFA World Cup host, KCRHA's focus was on the safety of our unhoused community members living near the site of the World Cup matches, Lumen Field. KCRHA was directly involved through our work in Coordinated Entry (CE), the process of ensuring access points to housing support are available to people experiencing homelessness. Check out our blog post to read more about our area's collaborative approach to bringing more people living outside in areas most impacted into shelter: https://kcrha.org/news-world-cup-in-review/

KCRHA is excited to announce that the updated Regional Services Database (RSD) is now live on our website! This multi-functional tool helps people locate services and gives service providers, local governments, community partners, and regional planners a shared picture of homelessness resources across King County. The database includes more than 400 housing, shelter, outreach, navigation, day-service, behavioral health, substance use, and other programs serving people experiencing homelessness throughout King County. This project was led by our Research & Data Team in collaboration with local service providers, so a big thank you to the providers who gave their time, insights, and feedback to make this database as comprehensive and effective as possible.
