Everett marks $2.7 million in federal funds for homeless housing
EVERETT — Federal recovery money is set to help Everett expand its temporary small housing footprint across the city.
Last week the Everett City Council authorized spending $2.7 million for its fledgling Pallet Shelter village program. It will come from nearly $20.7 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funding.
The need for temporary housing grew during the pandemic.
Snohomish County’s latest tally of the homeless population revealed a 10-year high. The point-in-time count identified 1,184 people without homes, a 42.8% increase from the county’s low point in 2015, and 52 people more than in 2020.
