Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs)

From the King County Housing Authority:

Meet Emily.

When Emily and her kids got an Emergency Housing Voucher, it wasn’t just about having a roof overhead. It was about finally being able to breathe. After bouncing between motels and uncertainty, she could tell her children, “This is your room. This is our home.” For her, it was a lifeline, a chance to rebuild, to give her kids stability, and to show that safe housing is where families start to thrive.

Today, CLPHA shared two important advocacy letters with Congressional appropriators, urging robust funding and policy changes for FY26 to protect housing stability for millions of families.
