Seattle, a city known for its cultural richness and vibrant environment, faces a significant homelessness crisis. The primary cause is the severe lack of affordable housing, with skyrocketing rent prices making it impossible for low-income individuals to secure homes. Economic disparities, mental health issues, and substance use disorders further exacerbate the problem. Despite efforts to increase shelter capacity and provide services, the demand continues to outstrip available resources. Addressing this issue requires a multi-faceted approach involving community advocacy, policy changes, and support for local organizations.
