Notice of Plan Development
The Grays Harbor Homeless Housing Task Force and Public Health Staff are updating and further developing the Local Homeless Housing Plan for Grays Harbor County. The Washington State Department of Commerce mandates that local jurisdictions periodically submit a five-year local homeless housing plan for their respective jurisdictional areas. Guidelines outlining requirements and objectives for local jurisdictions are provided by Commerce, with consultative guidance from Homebase.
The Grays Harbor Homeless Housing Task Force comprises representatives including individuals with lived experience, residents of various cities, service providers closely engaged with the housing community, healthcare providers, youth and veteran advocates, the faith community, public health officials, and tribal representatives.
The plan's development will proceed throughout 2025, with finalization and adoption scheduled by the end of 2025.
