How a Housing Search Works
King County has a set of qualifications for housing programs. Y Social Impact Center staff will:
- Walk you through the King County Coordinated Entry for All (CEA) assessment
- Discuss housing options with you
- Help prioritize participants for housing based on a standardized process
Note: The Y’s housing programs are for single young adults only but other options are available
