Gov. Jay Inslee today announced his homelessness proposals for the 2022 legislative session, which will bolster Washington’s leadership in finding solutions for individuals living without shelter and help those at risk of becoming homeless.
The governor put forward the $800 million increase in spending proposal to address homelessness to:
- Pursue new avenues to help people remain in their homes
- Secure more facilities to provide permanent supportive and affordable housing
- Expand supportive services for people with behavioral health needs
- Transition encamped people to permanent housing solutions
- Restore the range of affordable housing types in our cities
"Unsheltered Washingtonians deserve a safe, warm and dry place to live, with additional resources available, if they need them. This is not only the right thing to do for these people, but the right thing to do for our state and our communities," Inslee said.

One of the underlying causes of housing shortage has to be the unlawful immigration of millions of needy. Its self-evident that flooding basic housing with needy people will directly create homelessness. Moreover, the flood of newcomers will squeeze out the current marginally housed persons into tent cities.
