Episode Details

King County’s Housing First programs are proving life-changing: people with stable housing are booking jail far less, thanks to a model that prioritizes shelter over conditions. Since 2021, data shows a dramatic drop in arrests — a testament to how housing can heal, not just house. Seattle’s leadership in this approach is reshaping national policy, but a looming $26 million federal funding cut threatens to unravel years of progress. With HUD’s new rule forcing providers to alter their model, the future of this proven strategy hangs in the balance — and so does the safety and well-being of thousands.
