*The Washington Low Income Housing Alliance updated this Resource Guide under sponsorship of DSHS to promote communication among those who are involved in the development of community-based housing and supportive services for people who are homeless, mentally ill, and have a substance use disorder. Specifically, the intent is to identify the systems level resources that are available, and to encourage the partnerships needed to successfully create additional housing and supportive services for individuals in need, all in service of the broader goal of ending homelessness in Washington State. The audience for this guide is Regional Support Networks, mental health and chemical dependency providers, homeless services providers, housing providers including housing authorities, government staff, and advocates.

*The Alternative Solutions Program is a statewide initiative within the Division of Child Support (DCS) aimed at helping parents toward self-sufficiency. At DCS we put great value on the noncustodial parent’s role in our communities and with their families. While most parents pay their child support, others have trouble meeting their responsibility. Our well-rounded approach to child support services works as a bridge between community groups and the people they help; dealing with issues such as joblessness, housing, medical, legal issues, and transition from jail and prison. The Alternative Solutions Program links parents with government and community groups to increase their ability to get a job and be financially stable.
