Administered by AIDS Housing of Washington (AHW), WFF will help sustain existing supportive services and create new programs statewide. The fund will provide ten years of financing for both on- and off-site support services tied to affordable housing, allowing nonprofit organizations to increase comprehensive and individualized case management services for homeless families throughout the state. Research shows that well-coordinated support services like job training, childcare, and domestic violence counseling can make the difference between a successful transition to permanent housing and repeated episodes of homelessness.
