About We Are In
Homelessness is a complex issue but we know what works.
We Are In to end homelessness
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 end homelessness and build more affordable homes in King County.
We believe that safe, stable housing is a human right; that homelessness is preventable; and that everyone has a role to play in ending homelessness in our community.
