西雅图市长宣布无家可归应对转向全市推广：先锋广场试点80人安置70人
位于华盛顿州金县的西雅图市长 Katie Wilson 10月21日与市中心西雅图协会（DSA）、市议员、市人类服务部及社区组织共同宣布，全市无家可归应对策略将转向推广一套已在先锋广场（Pioneer Square）试点见效的做法。这一框架由全国组织 Community Solutions 首创：今年6月世界杯前启动的「街道到住房」（Streets to Housing）试点中，合作机构共享数据、按名单逐人跟进安置，接触的80人中有70人被安置进庇护所或住房，安置率近九成；其中47%无家可归超过三年、77%有成瘾或精神健康问题、16%为长者，仅3人拒绝全部服务。
Wilson 表示，推广做法包括与更多社区共建可实时更新的「实名名单」（By-Name lists）、优先安置对公共空间影响最大的人群，并按个人复杂需求匹配高支持度庇护服务，目标是让公园与人行道恢复公共用途，而不是把人从一个街区赶到另一个街区。她同时指出，这一转向主要靠重组现有资源推进，但成败取决于其预算提案中3700万美元庇护拨款能否通过，该预算旨在填补1.75亿美元赤字。第2区市议员 Eddie Lin 在市长办公室声明中表示，个性化、高支持度的服务对最有需要的人至关重要；唐人街国际区商业促进区（CIDBIA）负责人 Tuyen Than 表示，该区欢迎这一加强协调、把人对接到支持与服务的做法。

Seattle Mayor Announces Citywide Expansion of Homelessness Strategy: Pioneer Square Pilot Placed 70 of 80 People
SEATTLE, Washington — Mayor Katie Wilson of Seattle, in King County, Washington, joined the Downtown Seattle Association (DSA), City Council members, the city's Human Services Department and community organizations on October 21 to announce a citywide shift in Seattle's homelessness strategy, scaling up an approach piloted in Pioneer Square. The framework, pioneered by the national organization Community Solutions, was tested in the 'Streets to Housing' pilot launched in June ahead of the World Cup: partners shared data and followed individuals by name from outreach to placement, and 70 of the 80 people engaged were placed into sustained shelter or housing, a nearly 90 percent placement rate. Among them, 47 percent had been homeless for more than three years, 77 percent suffered from addiction or mental illness, and 16 percent were seniors; only three people declined all services.
Wilson said the expansion will work with more neighborhoods to build real-time By-Name lists, prioritize shelter placements for those having the greatest impact on public space, and match high-support shelter services to complex individual needs, with the goal of keeping parks and sidewalks open for public use rather than sweeping people from one block to the next. She noted the shift will largely be accomplished by reorganizing existing resources, but its success depends on passage of the $37 million for shelter in her budget proposal, which closes Seattle's $175 million deficit. District 2 Councilmember Eddie Lin said in the mayor's office statement that individualized, robust support is essential for those in greatest need, and Tuyen Than, executive director of the Chinatown-International District Business Improvement Area, welcomed an approach that strengthens coordination and creates pathways to support and services.
