The Cowlitz County Homeless Housing Task Force provides input into the ongoing development of a five-year plan to address homelessness in Cowlitz County as required by RCW 43.185C.160.
The Emergency Fund can assist agencies with a short-term urgent funding need that has, or will, significantly interrupt essential services or impact the health and safety of homeless individuals.
Cowlitz County and the City of Longview are discussing the concept of a Hosted Encampment Pilot Project. This pilot project would provide a clean and safe temporary housing environment for those experiencing homelessness to stay while engaging in services and being supported in taking steps to obtain stable housing.
