II. WRAP-UP OF 2013/2014 FUNDING PROCESS
Terry Higashiyama, Community Services Administrator,thanked everyone for their hard efforts and
gave a brief outline of the approval process on the impending budget deliberations:
The Mayor will present his preliminary 2013/2014 budget to the City Council on October 15, 2012,
and a formal public hearing will be set for November 5. It is during this public hearing that agencies
will have the opportunity to comment on the Human Services Advisory Committee's 2013/2014
Funding R�commendations that will be adopted as part of the final 2013/2014 budget.
In closing,Terry noted there is an anticipated $5 million deficit going into the 2013/2014 budget
cycle. To help offset the shortfall, twenty-two positions that are currently vacant will be left
unfilled.
After Terry left, Linda asked for feedback on the funding process. The notes from June and
September are combined in the attached Funding Process Discussion summary.
Approval by the Committee: A mathematic error was made in the funding allocations, so the total
was $1,893 over budget. The only place to balance the budget and get the $1,893 is in the
allocation to the South King Council of Human Services. It is recommended that the South King
Council of Human Services be allocated $3,107 instead of$5,000.

111. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
There was no quorum, so no official business would be taken care of today. The previous two
i months of notes and minutes will be scheduled for approval at the October meeting. There was
discussion by the members as to the definition of quorum in the Human Services Advisory
Committee Bylaws. The Bylaws state that six members must be present, and that means that all
the current members must be present. The members recommended changing this to a
percentage,to allow more flexibitity.
IV. AGENCY PERFORMANCE REPORTS
Dianne Utecht noted the report had been handed out (attached) and reviewed the agencies that
were not meeting the performance measures.
V. HUMAN SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE VACANCIES
Karen gave a brief report on the current situation. There are four vacant positions to be filled and
three current members have terms that end in December. Six applications have been received to
date. The vacancy announcement closes on October fifth. The Advisory Committee members
discussed extending the deadline to get the right mix of applicants, but would like to be done with
the selection process by Thanksgiving Day.
She asked the Committee members to consider several questions concerning the Committee
vacancies, and to get back to her with suggestions:
How do we obtain diversity on this Committee?
Are there any particular skill sets we want to include that we should seek out?
What are the skills needed to be an effective Committee member?
Committee members shared idea
s on places to do outreach. Suggestions are: post notices
through community service clubs (Kiwanis, Rotary, etc.), public bulletin boards in grocery
stores, local veterinarian offices, through the local schools, and other places where people
gather.
The interview questions and process were discussed. It was asked if the Committee could add
supplemental questions to the application. Karen did not know and will check. It was suggested
that the applicants be asked what the applicant's motivation is for wanting to join this committee.

Observations and comments re: process:
• Easy process for members because they knew how feedback is assessed. It helped to know
what members were looking for, and what the desired result would encompass.
• Community impact is challenging to quantify. It's too discretionary on how po,ints are assessed.
• Some questions are answered by taking information from one or more of the other questions
that have written responses. Is the rating based strictly on the one answer,or is it appropriate
to read more into it by using other responses in addition to the direct response? If just on the
direct response, an agency could be rated much lower than the totality of all the responses
might suggest.
• Additional questions for the application:Which populations are served,and who is not served?
Are fees charged to the client for services?
If fees are charged, how are they assessed? Sliding scale? Other?
• A cheat sheet for answers would be helpful—Examples of what a good response is.
• Good to have zero on rating scale for an absent or incomplete answer.
• Impact of word-smithing on some grants by experience grant writers—Difficult not to bias a
rater because of a grant-writer's skills,or lack thereof,when it is obvious that an agency has
merits that have been overlooked or possibly omitted by an inexperienced grant writer. No
room for discretionary analysis.
• Has to withstand public scrutiny.
• Expand evidence of success. �
• More supporting data in responses.
• Helpful to have an addition question of how will your agency be impacted if you do not get all of
the funding you are requesting? Useful to know about program impacts if funding not available
at the requested amount. Would programs be partially cut,or would less people be served, or
hours of service reduced,or is it the end of the program?
• Some agencies submitted poorly rated applications but there is a need in the community for
their services. There should be a mechanism in place to help mentor these agencies.
• City improves outreach to agencies that got poor scores—in helping them prepare a better
grant application.

� Some Committee members were assigned applications in areas where they have a great deal of
professional knowledge of the topic. It was felt by staff that this was not a conflict and would be
beneficial in the reading and rating of applications. One committee member pointed out that
while this was true; it also was very challenging—as she knew far more about the agencies than
was just in the application. She felt it was somewhat counter-productive to be assigned to a
result because of her knowledge—and then she could not use that knowledge in the rating
process as the rating was only based on the responses in the application.
The subcommittees reported on their funding recommendations. Observations:
• Basic Needs covers many categories of service. It is very brbad. It was challenging to try to
make sure that all areas were covered in terms of services=clothing,food, medical care, mental
health, counseling, elder care.
• One agency was recommended for more funding fhan requested. It was clarified that it had
been agreed to fund the highest ranked agency the same dollar amount they were funded for
2012, at a minimum—so the group followed this.
• A potential conflict of interest in one group was discussed. It was deemed that it was not a
conflict of interest. ,
• One result area had excess funds. The funds were movec�into another result area. Need clarity
as to if it goes to the whole committee to reallocate,or if the subcommittee gets to decide
where it goes.
• The committee reviewing homeless.ness would like to prevent homelessness, rather than using
"band-aids"to help individuals already at that stage. They also believe the cost/benefit ratio
would be better used to,help keep families in a home environment instead of shelters.
• The norm in the past has been to fund new agencies at the$5,000 level. The whole committee
did not agree to,ttiis norm 'in this funding process;and se"veral members were not aware of this
norm. Norms or guidelines need to be spelled out at the beginning of the process,as much as
possible.
• Five agencies that had gotten funding in the past were not recommended for funding in this
cjrcle: There was discussion as to why their scores were low.
• It was agreed by the group that new agencies would be allocated$5,000.
• It was agreed by the group that agencies would not be funded for more than their requested
amounts.
Alicia moved to accept the recommended 2013-2014 funding recommendations as presented at the
conclusion of the meetirig. The motion was seconded by Shannon; all ayes; motion carried.
Alicia moved to adjourn; it was unanimously seconded. Chair Linda thanked everyone for their
participation and concluded the meeting at 1:50 p.m.

� A�encv Comment: First quarter:We did not reach the anticipated goal for the 15t quarter. However,we do anticipate
that we will meet the annual goal and catch up in the next quarter. We have been conducting intensive outreach in
Renton by presenting and meeting with agencies such as Renton salvation Army, WIC, DSHS office, Renton ECAP and the
YWCA. We are also currently working on a partnership with Renton Housing Authority where we will conduct
workshops in the community. We will also conduct outreach, encouraging Renton Housing Authority customers to the
full five week REACH Plus.
Second quarter: We did not reach the anticipated goal for the 2"d quarter. However,we do anticipate that we will meet
the annual goal and catch up in the next quarter. I have met with the following agencies: EEAP on April 3rd, and
currently still in contact with Noelle Powell, Catholic Community Services case manager meeting(for Renton residents)
was June 12`h and I was the guest speaker for that particular meeting and I've been going to the King County Homeless
forum that features Renton providers. Last one I went to was June 6th. I have been to the Renton YWCA, DSHS,
Salvation Army and WIC, and talking to whoever is available. I've been attempting to meet with someone from DSHS for
a few weeks now, but finally have a letter drafted and will be headed over today to give an introductory letter to case
managers.
We met with Renton Housing Authority and will be conducting classes in the Renton areas as part of our strategy to
introduce residents to REACH Plus. If approved by contract manager,we hope to include the Renton Housing Authority
customers in our Renton residents served. The first class was August 20th and there were no attendees. Unfortunately
this is common for a start-up class. It usually takes a couple of classes to catch on.
Staff Comment: First quarter:They are doing outreach to the appropriate groups including ones we recommended, so
no action taken until the numbers are reviewed for next quarter.
Second quarter: Payment was withheld for the 2"d quarter. They can be reimbursed for those funds if/when they get
current on their contract performance. Human Services staff will meet with WWEE in September and develop a plan for
them to meet their performance goals.

A�encv Comments: Kindering's Early Care and Education team has been actively serving Renton-area child care centers
and families over the past 2 quarters. During the first two quarters of 2012 there were 2 children we worked with who
reside in the City of Renton but do not have home zip codes that fall within the guidelines for our funding contract,so
they were not reported in our outcomes. Now in the 3'd quarter of 2012,we are currently serving 2 children within the
appropriate zip codes so when we report at the end of this quarter our program will be on track for our reporting goals.
Overall we are on track to meet our annual goal by December 2012. In addition this summer our team of educators is
directly call in-home child care providers throughout Renton to offer developmental screenings for children in their care.
Staff Comment: Agency has outlined appropriate outreach steps to address the issue. Since they are now serving two
Renton children in the third quarter,they are over 90%for the year.

unit nights to Renton
Households
A�encv Comments: One Renton family carried over from 2011 and only stayed 5 nights in 2012 before moving out.
The next Renton family didn't move into the shelter until later in the quarter, giving them 17 nights. As of today, this
family is still in the shelter and this brings the unit nights up to 41. Should no new Renton families move in this quarter
and should this one family stay the full 90 days, at the end of Q2 we will be at 157% of individuals served and 113% of
unit nights served. We are confident all numbers will be met.
Staff Comments: MSC provided sufficient shelter unit nights in the 2"d quarter to meet the goals. However, due to
changes, there might be future bed night issues. Shelter and transitional housing services/referrals for homeless
families in King County have undergone a significant change. The Family Homelessness Initiative has been looking at
ways to transform/improve the existing system. One piece now in place is a coordinated entry system through the
newly formed Family Housing Connection (FHC). Agencies no longer maintain waitlists, or accept calls and referrals for
their shelter and transitional housing programs. Homeless families call 2-1-1 and are referred to FHC where they receive
an in-person assessment within a couple of weeks. This places them on a master waitlist for King County programs and
families no longer need to call multiple locations or keep track of which programs have which call back requirements.
Immigrant/refugee and domestic violence populations have alternate portals for accessing the system or shelters.
When a program anticipates an opening,the agency requests a family from FHC. FHC"matches" a family to the shelter
based on eligibility criteria pre-set by each program and based on the region of the county were the family prefers to
be. There are some glitches. For example,the assessments list families by zip codes, rather than cities. If an agency
FINALAgency Performance 2012Q1and2.docx 2
_ �� .
� ' needs a specific city,further inform�n is needed when a zip code crosses juri�ions. This has impacted MSC. They
specifically needed to target a couple of cities to meet their contract numbers. A referral was sent from FHC that was
thought to be the correct city, but it was not. They took them as they felt it wasn't fair to turn them away after they
were already at the intake, but they are still low on some city numbers because of it.
How the Family Homelessness Initiative impacts the agencies we are currently funding and plan to fund in the next
funding cycle will need to be addressed at a future HSAC meeting.

I am proud to present King County's first Equity and Social Justice Annual Report.
Our region is a place of great opportunity—a place where quality of life,the economy
and health are among the best in the country. But not everyone reaps the benefits of
these opportunities.Where you live,how much you make,and the color of your skin
all have a lot to do with your life experience and your chances to live well and thrive in
this county.
King County government is striving to change this.We can contribute to creating
fairness and opportunity in the lives of all residents through our decisions,our
policies,and our everyday work.Keeping equity and sociai Justice at the forefront of
our work heips to secure our region's future by creating a place where everyone can
contribute his or her best.
We are working in Ktng County for equity and socfal justice at three levels:considering
equity impacts in all decision making;promoting opportunity and fairness in county
practices;and building awareness through communication and engagement with all
King County communities and groups.
We don't have all the answers.We won't create equity working alone,nor will we
get the job done overnight. But the only way we can start is by asking the important
questions and digging deeper.
I remain deeply committed to working with our elected officials,employees and
restdents to make King County a place where all people can reach their full potential.
1 hope this report spurs discussions and actions as we make strides toward the fair
and just society envisioned by our county's namesake, Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr.
Sincerely,

The previous sections of this report show remarkable differences in access to the determinants of equity
—and therefore to opportunity—across King County by place,race and income.Together,these conditions
create a complex web of barriers to opportunity for certain communities.Meaningful and widespread
changes in opportunity are unlikely to result from focus on just one of these conditions,or by just one
institution.Over the past few years,King County has been working intentionally on a comprehensive �
approach to how our government can maximize its impact on fairness and opportunity in King County.

Metro Transit is committed to providing services that contribute to equitable access to
transportation for everyone in King County.
- That commitment is reflected in the new Strategic Pian for Public Transportation and service
guidelines that were adopted by the County in 2011. This pioneering approach piaces the highest
. priority on productivity�sociai equity and geographic value. The Strategic Plan and service
guidelines use measurable data to support allocation of transit service to low-income and minority
neighborhoods.
Metro's Strategic Plan mirrors the King County Strategic Plan by including the goal"Numan
Potential:Provide equitable opportunities for people from ali areas of King County to access the
public transportation system." Strategies for achieving this goal are:
• Design and offer a variety of public transportation products and services appropriate to
different markets and mobility needs.
• Provide travel opportunities for historicaily disadvantaged populations,such as low-income
people,students,youth,seniors,people of color,peopie with disabilities,and others with
limited transportation options.
• Provide products and services that are designed to provide geographic value in all parts of
King County.
An example of how the plan and guidelines impact decisions for where to provide transit service is
the process for setting target service levels for the transit system.One of the steps in this process
is to identify corridors that have many low-income or minority residents.Metro sets higher service-
levei targets for those areas. The guidelines also place a high priority on investments that reduce
overcrowding and improving schedule reliability. This also benefits low-income and minority
communities,where transit services typically get heavy use.in addition,Metro serves people with
special transportation needs by offering a range of innovative public transportation services,such
as services for people with disabilities,taxi scrip,and job access and reverse commute programs.
Metro also uses concrete performance measures to track progress on its Human Potential goal

SUMMARY
In King County, Washington, 685 youth and yow�g adults were homeless
or iu�stably housed on May 16,2012. The count was conducted by a group
of youth service providers and key community member from across the
county. Tlu-ough a variety of outreach methods to identify youth who
migk�t be homeless, a survey was conducted to produce an unduplicated
count of homeless and unstably housed youth Data was also drawn from
Safe Harbors, the county's homeless rrranagement �forrrration system, to
create a profile of youth homelessness in King County.
A total of 685 youth and young adults ages 13 to 25 were identified. Of
these, 408 were staying in shelter or transitional housing prograrr�s, and
277 were surveyed at program sites and other places that homeless youth
frequent. Of the 277 surveyed youth, 81 were literally homeless, 70 were
nrnninerrtly losmg their housing and 126 were unstably housed.
Minors made up 21%of the total, 55%were fema.le and 62%were people
of color. Most youth in shelter or housing programs (67%} were in
progi�.ms designed for youth. The youth and young adults counted by the
survey di�'ered from those in shelter or transitional housing. A higher
percentage of survey youth were minors, male and African American,
Asian or multiracial and from South Seattle or South King County.
The Cotmt Us In collaboration will continue to ur�rove outreach and
survey methods for future counts. The inforn�ation produced by this
project will be useful � planning for better addressmg youth and young
adutt homelessness in Kmg County.

INTRODUCTION
On May 25,2011, a collaboration of multiple homeless youth service
providers and key community members from across the county
orchestrated a synchronized event called "Count Us In." The goal was to
achieve a more accurate count of the number of homeless and unstably
housed youth in K�g County. A total of 261 homeless youth were
counted, with at least 50 of them were sleeping on the streets• the night
before the count.
For May 16,2012, lessons leamed 'm this initial count were incorporated
into more extensive planning resuhir►g in more effective outreach
strategies and an improved swvey investrnent. In addrtion, data.from King
County's HMIS was used to identify the number of youth and young
adults staying in horr�eless programs the night before�the survey was
adm�istered. This provides a more comprehensive picture of
homelessness among yoimg people in King County.
Homelessness in King County
Youth and young adult homelessness is prevalent m Kmg County. An
estnnated 5,000-10,000 youth experience homelessness d�g the coluse
of each year in King County. On any given night, approxnnately 1,000
young people are homeless. These numbers are estimates, and we do not
have a good�rasp of the full scale of youth/young aduhs experiencing
homelessness . Count Us In is an attempt to devebp specific sow�ces of
data on homelessness among our comirnmity's young people.
Methodology
A steer�g committee began rneeting monthly starting in October of 2011
in preparation for the May 16, 2012 Count Us In. The steering comrrrittee

For the 2012 count, the City of Seattle Human Services Deparirnent
organized the participation of seven additional agencies serving youth and
� families located m South Seattle —the most etiv�ically and racially diverse
area of King County by zip code and an area with lvstorically few
resources available to unstably housed, homeless youth and young adults.
These additional agencies are: Asian Counseling and Referral Service,
Atlantic Street Center, Consejo Counseling and Referral Services, People
of Color Aga�st Aids Network/Conmlunities United Ra.inier Beach
(POCAAN/CURB), Southeast Youth and Family Services, Therapeutic
Health Services, and the Union Gospel Mission. Eff'orts were also made to
involve the King County Library System, with brar�ches across the county.
This partnership is anticipated to start in 2013.
One wuque element of the 2012 Count Us In was the �terdisciplinary
partnership between agencies in the homeless youth cont�uum of care and
agencies serving youth and families without an explicit focus on
ho�lessness. The interest of this broad spectlwn of agencies to count
homeless and unsta.bly housed youth nl a way that.is appropriate and
inclusive for both youths who identify as homeless and those who don't,
led to an expansion in the count methodology.
Count Us In applied a combination of event-based cotmting through meal
sites provided by coir�riwiity-based providers, siuveys conducted over the
phone with youth known to be unstably housed, and ]nnited street
outreach to siuvey youth wlio would not be drawn to an event or who were
not currently engaged with providers. This methodobgy was intentionally
designed to reach youth who are cuirently engaged m the homeless youth
continuum of care, as well as homeless or unstably housed young people
who are engaged � youth and farr�ily services in South Seattle, and youth
who are disconnected from both of these systems.
Agencies deterniined wl�t approach would best capture tlie youth they
serve and the youth in their neighborhood —events, direct contact via
phone calls or mterviews, and/or street outreach Each location's
� approach was coordinated through regular pla.nning meet�gs leading up to
the count. Sponsorship by the United Way of King County allowed each
agency to receive a$1,000 stipend toward 'mcentives, staffing, or
associated cost of the count. Posters and t-shirts were distnbuted to each
location and circulated over ema�7, Outreach warkers and staff talked with
youth m the weeks lead'mg up to May 16th to encow�age participation and
corrnrnmicate the purpose of the count.

Page � 6
The counting tool was a brief one-page survey developed with input from
each participating agency. In order to provide an unduplicated count, the
survey included a question that asked each youth to answer whether they
had previously corr�leted the survey that day. Count Us In training was
provided before the event and covered how to administer the survey and
strategies to reduce duplication —mcluding completing the questions one-
on-one with each young person. Surveys were designed to capture the
numbers of youth litera.11y homeless, unstably housed, and urnninently at
risk of losing housing. The straightforward nature of the survey tool was
intended to reduce hesitation youth may ha.ve to a longer, more personal
questionnaire. �
The count period was limited to May 16th through 8pm. Each agency
detern�med the best rnethods for reachmg the maximum number of
unstably housed/homeless youth in their corrnriunity. For exarnple, UGM
went to high schools and middle schools after school and surveyed youth
in the parking lot; POCAAN sat at the bus stop near their office and
si.ffveyed youth; Jefferson Coirnnunity Center had a basketball tournament
and BBQ led by youth; ACRS and SWY&F called youth; THS called
youth and surveyed all the youth � theu goups that day; and Atlantic St.
and Van Asselt did a combined event at the cornrnwiity center as we$ as
calling youth and surveying people who accessed services that day. By
9pm, each location reported the total number of youth who participated.
At the end of the month, the number of youth and young adults entered 'm
shelters and transitional living programs on the night of May 15th was
pulled from Safe Harbors, King County's Homelessness Management .
Inforn�ation System. Surveys on which youth reported they stayed 'm a
she�er or transfional living program the night bef+ore (May 15th) were
removed from the survey count. The total nwnber of youth counted as
unstably housed or ho�less in the 2012 Count Us In is the combmed
youth entered in the Safe Harbors system on the night of May 15th and
surveys which identified the youth's housrng status as literally homeless,
unstably housed, or imminently at-risk of losing housing.
TERMINOLOGY:
SheItered/Survey youth: For the purposes of this report, we refer to .
youth and young adults reflected 'm HMIS data as "sheltered youth".
Tliis data included .all May 15 residents of emergency shelteis, h-ansitional
housing and pern�ar►ent supportive housing who were between the ages of
13 and 25 and unaccompanied by a parent or adult guardian. We referred
to youth and young adults who com�leted surveys dur�g the Count Us In
survey period on May 16 as"survey youth". All participants ages 13-25

innninent risk of homelessness, and who did not sta.y in a homeless
shelter/housing program the previous night are included.
Limitations
The methodology used 'm this project produced a well rounded picture of
youth and young adult homelessness � King Couniy. It is based on both
service data and a comprehensive survey conducted by a broad range of
youth service providers in many parts of the County. It documents a
, minunum count of youth in specific kinds of unacceptable housing
situations m our corrnrnulity.
L'unitations involve conclusions that can be drawn from the demographic
profile of youth included 'm this data. The data reflects the profiles of
youth who use participating prograins. .This might result in omitting youth
who do not access services, who are outside the demographic or
geographic reach of these programs and those who did not respond to the
outreach methods employed.
The dataset does include a large sample of homeless and unstably housed
youth in Kmg CoLmty and therefore the demographic profile is
meaningful. While there is certamly some bias toward youth connected 'm
so� way with this set of service programs, the number of youth covered
by this data represents over 2/3 of previous es�tes of the total point in
t�r�e number. It is reasonable to use this demogaphic data.as the best
representation available of the profile of our homeless/unstably housed
youth and young adult population with the knowledge that 300 or rr�re
youth were not included, and they may difler from the youth in this count.
RESULTS .
Survey Youth: Overall Count Us In Survey Statistics by Site
Over 1000 surveys were completed for Coimt Us In. Surveys indicating
the youth had aheady completed a siuvey or had sta.yed 'm a shelter or
transitional hous�g program and surveys wrth invalid ages or incomplete .
screening data were not �cluded in the analysis. All sites collected
surveys from eligible youth A total of 881 surveys were included, 277 of
which indicated that the youth was literally horneless, unstably housed, or
at nrnninent risk of homelessness.

Discussion
This data tells us that 685 youth and young adults are homeless in King
County and at least 277 youth are without stable housing or access to
shelter/housing services. Many youth are be�g served by both youth
specific programs and adult progams. A large number of youth are
}iterally homeless and many rr�ore are in need of prevention services to
avoid tmle on the street with all its risks for vuhierable young people.
Mff►ors make up a larger portion of the survey population than has been
documented 'm the past decade. Services for imder 18 year old youth are
scaxce as is reflected 'm the fact that a larger percenta.ge of survey youth
are m�ors.
The disproportionate representation of youth of color, ma�s and youth
from Seattle and South King County m the survey population as compared
� to those using shelter or housing programs suggests specific prevention,
outreach and access strategies to meet the needs of these popu�tions. The
large nwnber of youth who were unstably housed with friends and family
suggests prevention programing. Additiona.l analyses of the data will help
to target these strategies e$'ectively.
DEBRIEFING AND NEXT STEPS
A mandatorv feedback session was held the followin� dav to turn in hard
copies of the surveys and debrief the coun� _ Several sirong positive
themes emerged:
• Sites tmiversally supported the length of the survey too1,
coirnr�enting that it was easy to admn�ister and brief enough that
youth were willing to complete it.
• The fimding awarded to each agency allowed sites flexibility to
rnake the best use of the st�end —purchasing mcentives, food, or
paying youth to conduct outreach
• Handouts, posters and materials provided by the steering
coirnYrittee assisted each location � spread'mg the word.
• Facebook was uh7ized with success as an outreach tool
• Clear and regular corrmnniication by the steernig cominittee made
it easy for agencies to participate, especially agencies for which
homeless youth weren't explicitly a service focus.
Next Steps
In addirion, there was enthusiasm during the feedback session amund
opporh,mities for the 2013 count:
Page 27
,
� � � ` .
.
Page � 16
• Continue thn�king around marketing the count to youth who may
not identify as homeless —avoid'mg the stigma of a"homeless �
youth count."
• Improve the screening of surveys, reducing inadmissible surveys
and lost data.
• Cont�ue refining the survey tool to uriprove the accuracy of
responses.
� Create a s�gle point of information about the count, ie. a website �
with all count locations.
• Continue refining the planning structure to improve transparency,
communication and accessib�7ity of agency participation.
• Continue e�andmg the counYs reach throug�� additional
partnerships, such as: hbraries, school districts and use McKinney
Vento liaisons, juvenile detention, faith coirnrnn�ity pariners,
Police Deparhnents and Street Oulxeach Workers.
CONCLUSION
i The 2012 Count Us In point �► time count was successful � capturing a
rr�re complete picture of youth and young adult homelessness in Seattle
and King County. Certainly many youth m unstable living situations or
literally homekss were not reached by the survey, so ongoing �
development of survey methods is m�portant and recognition of the
lirriitations of the data must be emphasized.
Based on this dataset, much can be leamed about the �nature and extent of
homelessness among young people. Fuc�ther analysis of the data.will
provide information on the housing history and service needs of survey
youth as well as the nature of homelessness for various segments of the
population. This �formation w�71 be used to mform phnning for an
e�'ective response to youth homelessness.
