Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) and the City of Everett – Addressing the Unhoused Crisis in Snohomish County
The homelessness crisis in Snohomish County and across Washington State presents a multifaceted challenge, with profound implications for individuals, families, and communities. The unhoused population in Snohomish County has been steadily increasing over the past decade, exacerbated by factors such as rising housing costs, limited affordable housing availability, economic disparities, and systemic issues including mental illness and substance abuse.
According to recent data from the Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress, Washington State has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the United States, with over 21,000 individuals experiencing homelessness on any given night. Efforts to address this crisis require comprehensive strategies that encompass housing assistance, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, employment opportunities, and community support – all of which we aim to address through the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program.
