Addressing <br /> homelessness is one such issue. Instead of creating our own separate plan for ending homelessness in 10 <br /> years as required by the State of Washington and the federal government, Everett has worked cooperatively <br /> with Snohomish County, public housing authorities, non profit organizations, faith based organizations, and <br /> the business community to develop a countywide plan. The causes of homelessness are numerous and <br /> complex and need a coordinated countywide effort. It is highly desirable to prevent homelessness as the most <br /> cost effective solution and to work towards providing more housing for low income families countywide. <br /> Copies of the plan have been provided to the Mayor and City Council under separate cover. <br /> RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Adopt the Resolution expressing support for"EVERYONE AT HOME NOW" a strategy for ending <br /> homelessness in Snohomish County, Washington by 2016 <br />
