United Is the Way™ We Work To Keep Our Neighbors Housed.
Housing instability disrupts lives. The research is clear—when families stay housed, then children stay in school, parents keep their jobs, health outcomes improve, and communities avoid costly crisis responses.

United Way of King County focuses on preventing homelessness before it starts. Maintaining stable housing takes coordination, funding, and systems that work.
When an eviction notice hits, just two weeks can be the difference between housing security and homelessness. We bring together the right people and resources to stop homelessness before it starts.
Real People. Real Stories.
