The United Way of King County, King County Bar Association and Seattle Mariners today announced the launch of a community partnership to help tackle King County’s homelessness crisis by reducing the number of people who lose their homes due to eviction, which is a leading cause of homelessness.
Home Base works to keep thousands of people facing eviction in their homes by:
- Providing legal representation through scaling King County Bar Association’s volunteer attorney program, the Housing Justice Project, which helps low-income clients facing eviction.
- Making flexible funds (provided by the Mariners and administered by United Way) available to clients to pay the back rent causing the eviction.
