City of Tacoma

The city of Tacoma's Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness document is now available online at http://www.cityoftacoma.org/homelessness. Neighborhood and Community Services Homeless Services team presented its strategy document for ending homelessness to City Council on Sept. 29. The plan recognizes that ending homelessness in Tacoma will require short-term and long-range efforts built on public-private partnerships to address immediate needs like shelter, while also addressing housing affordability. In the proposed 2023-2024 biennium budget, there is a requested allocation of approximately $34.1 million for homelessness services and programs. The city allocated $19.5 million to homeless services in the 2021-2022 biennium to provide homelessness services and programs including emergency shelter, case management, job training, mental health services, domestic violence services, food banks and other supportive services. Additionally, the city invested $26 million in one-time COVID resources to address issues of homeless prevention through rental assistance and building additional shelter.
