Section 10-A514. H-4 HOUSING THOSE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

 

514.1Among Washington’s 575,000 residents are thousands of people with special needs who require targeted help finding, paying for, and maintaining affordable housing. These individuals and families include the homeless, seniors, people with physical disabilities, people living with HIV/AIDS, people with mental illness, adults reentering the city from correctional facilities, and youth being discharged from foster care and the juvenile justice system. Residents with special needs are particularly vulnerable to displacement and housing hardship. They often lack the income needed to afford safe, decent housing and the services that will help them lead normal lives in the community. 514.1
