On any given night in America, anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 million people are homeless according to estimates of the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty. The Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness conducted the 2016 one-night count and discovered that 4,505 people were homeless in King County, which was an increase of 19% over those found without shelter the prior year.
While there are many reasons for homelessness, one encouraging note is that the condition of homelessness is usually temporary. Almost 80% of people who fall homeless are able to find shelters, adequate affordable housing or other permanent residence within 3 months.
