News and Information
Use this one-pager to ask the County Council and County Executive to support the creation of tiny home villages in unincorporated Pierce County ahead of the Aug. 20, 2024 County Council meeting. UPDATE: The County Executive vetoed this bill minutes after it was passed by the County Council on a party line 4-3 vote on Aug. 20, 2024. You can continue to reach out to the executive with comments on his veto by emailing Bruce.dammeier@piercecountywa.gov. - 8/21/2024Pierce County has released the results of the 2024 Point in Time Count, which was held on January 26. The numbers show a 23% increase in homelessness compared to the 2023 count, and an 11% increase in the number of people who were unsheltered during the 2024 count - 453 more people unsheltered than last year. You can dig into the PIT Count data on Pierce County's website, including the visually appealing infographic view and a deeper dive into the actual data. - 5/29/2024The Coalition has presented a letter to the City of Tacoma asking the city to withdraw its support for the Grants Pass v. Johnson case that is set to go before the U.S. Supreme Court on April 22. You can read the letter here. We are also offering an opportunity for people to sign on to the letter to the city through this form. The News Tribune wrote an article about this on April 15 (City of Tacoma criticized for taking sides in Supreme Court case over public camping laws), in which the City stated that now the city is not taking a position on the issue to be addressed in the legal case. - 3/27/2024The Tacoma/Lakewood/Pierce County Continuum of Care has created an update to its 5-year plan and is seeking public comment through April 5, 2004.
