"Washington State has been trying to deal with their homeless problem,
but they haven’t had much success.
A program designed to close down tent communities and get homeless people
into housing has already spent $143 million dollars to house less than a thousand people. That’s a horrible ratio.
And now they want more cash, because they think this program has been so effective.

An initiative to remove homeless camps from roadways needs more money to continue next year, according to Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, after
burning through $143 million in a little over a year.
“You can’t do this with zero dollars,” Inslee, a Democrat, told KOMO
News. “We’ll need the legislature in January to step up to increase
funding so we can continue the progress we’re making.”
Inslee’s statewide Rights-of-Way Safety Initiative began in June 2022
with the goal of removing homeless camps from state property near roads
and offering housing to the people living in the camps.

On Friday, Inslee toured a tiny home village in Olympia funded by the initiative that will soon provide shelter to 50 people who previously
lived in an encampment along I-5, KOMO reported. The governor said during
the tour that the safety initiative is out of money and, come January,
camps will remain on state lands if the legislature does not allocate
more funds.
“We’re very proud of the work state agencies have done in our right of
way initiative working alongside local officials and service providers,”
a spokesperson for the governor told Fox News in an email. “We will take
as much funding as we can get to continue this work.”
Only a liberal government would think this is a success.
One of the problems with this issue is that it has become an industry.
Too many people are making good money trying to ‘end’ homelessness and therefore, don’t want it to end."
