King County purchases Kirkland hotel provide supportive housing for homeless
KIRKLAND, Wash. - After assessing the property for more than a month, King County moved forward Thursday and purchased La Quinta Inn & Suites in Kirkland for its Health Through Housing program.
It will be the 10th property purchased for the program, which aims to rapidly develop permanent supportive housing for homeless residents by buying apartment buildings and hotels.
The hotel, which is the second Health Through Housing purchase on the county’s eastside, will provide at least 121 units of housing, bringing the program's total to nearly 1,000 units.
“Expanding our network and partnering with communities, we are building a regional solution to chronic homelessness, and opening doors to a home for hundreds of people in King County,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine in a Thursday statement.
