A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, ENDORSING THE GOALS OF "A ROOF OVER EVERY BED IN
KING COUNTY: OUR COMMUNITY'S TEN -YEAR PLAN TO END
HOMELESSNESS AND DECLARING THE INTENT OF THE CITY OF
TUKWILA TO WORK WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND
GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PLAN.
WHEREAS, it is estimated that there are over 8,000 people who experience homelessness
in King County on any given night; and
WHEREAS, in 2004, 11% of homeless households reported South King County as their last
permanent address; and
WHEREAS, additional attention is needed to restructure our region's existing
homelessness services system, from managing homelessness to preventing and ending
homelessness; and
WHEREAS, the community including local governments, the United Way of King
County, the faith community, non -profit organizations, and the business community has
worked over the last several years to develop a plan outlining new efforts to address
homelessness;
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Endorsement. The City Council endorses the goals of "A Roof Over Every Bed
in King County: Our Community's Ten -Year Plan to End Homelessness" and supports the
Plan's "commitment to ensure that there is an appropriate, affordable roof over the bed of
everyone living in King County whether young or old, living alone or with families, sick or
well."
Section 2. Implementation of Plan. The City Council declares its intent to work with
other governmental officials, the United Way of King County, faith and civic groups,
communities of color, philanthropies, the business community, non -profit housing and service
providers, and others to implement this plan over the next ten years.
Section 3. Additional Resources. The City Council recognizes that additional
resources will be required in order to meet the ambitious goals included in the Ten -Year Plan,
and that local government resources are not adequate to achieve these goals. Therefore, the City
of Tukwila supports efforts to increase funding at the Federal and State levels to pursue the
goals of the Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness.
PASSED BY THE Cl1'Y COUNCL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, at a
