This special podcast takes a deeper look into King County’s Health Through Housing program, which follows the “housing first” model in which housing is provided before any other services. Studies have shown housing first can more effective and less expensive compared to the staircase model in which a person must address other issues such as drug abuse or mental health prior to receiving housing.
