The Need in Our Community
1. At least one in six families in North King County lives paycheck to paycheck and does not have sufficient funds to weather a temporary financial setback.*

2. There are more than 400 homeless school children in Northshore and Shoreline School Districts.**

3. Almost half of the renters spend more than 30% of their income on rent, leaving less money for other basic needs such as transportation and food. ***
