We Are In
and ready to act.

We Are In is a community coalition of King County unhoused and housed neighbors, local advocacy organizations and philanthropies, service providers, and businesses who are uniting to drive progress toward preventing and ending homelessness in King County.

Learn more about We Are In

We believe safe, stable housing is a basic human need.

We believe solutions to homelessness must be informed by diverse voices and co-designed by people with the lived experience of homelessness.

We believe homelessness is a racial justice issue, and solutions to homelessness must address the systemic inequities that cause disproportionate incidences of homelessness among communities of color.

We believe homelessness is preventable and moving upstream to address its root causes is critical.

We believe ultimately, homelessness and housing are inextricably linked, and there is no end to homelessness without more affordable, permanent housing.
