The City is asking our partners to extend and increase their support to provide immediate and long-term assistance, including: Washington State  Allocate additional resources for mental health and substance abuse disorder treatment;  Set Medicaid rates for inpatient treatment at an amount that is sufficient to provide effective treatment;  Identify state-owned property to host authorized encampments, vehicle parking, emergency shelter, and housing;  Allocate intervention and other resources to address the public health and safety crisis associated with unauthorized encampments on state property along I-5, I-90, and SR-99, including implementing physical changes to those areas to minimize ongoing and longterm public health and safety risks.  Increase the amount and expand allowable support services in the Consolidated Homeless Grant (CHG), including Housing and Essential Needs Program and stabilize funding for CHG;  Restore the Housing Trust Fund (HTF) to pre-recession levels; and  Authorize additional financing tools to expand affordable housing and ensure affordability and protections for tenants.
