Snohomish County's homeless population drops for second straight year

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

County leaders revealed the number of unhoused people in Snohomish dropped to just more than 1,100 this year.

That’s equivalent to a 1.8% decrease compared to last year, and an 11% decrease from 2023.

The numbers came from the county’s annual point-in-time count.

“The Point in Time Count is important to help us better understand homelessness in our county and the impact of local programs working to reduce homelessness,” Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers said in a press release. “While there is still a lot of work to do, it is good news that this year’s count is slightly lower than last year, marking a decrease for the second year in a row.”

1. They are working hard on this

Can't say enough good things about Cocoon House. Trying to catch at-risk homeless teenagers is such a valuable program. I wish we had one on the Olympic Peninsula. There is a drop incenter but they have to leave for the night - and that is the street.
