In Seattle鈥檚 , released on Friday, over half of the respondents said they聽use drugs or alcohol.

In November 2016, 1,050 people answered as follows:

No drug use: 45.3%

Alcohol: 29.4%

Methamphetamine: 17.2%

Heroin: 12.2%

Crack: 5.5%

Other drug (which includes marijuana): 20.6%

Granted, 1,050 people surveyed is only a quarter of the people who are homeless in the county. The 2016 One Night Count (ONC) found that 4,505 people were living outside and unsheltered in King County. In reality, the percentage of addicts or alcoholics could be higher or lower.

Maybe even more depressing is the perception of services Seattle provides.

搁别濒补迟别诲:听Nearly 13 percent of homeless surveyed are from outside state

According to the survey, respondents said they had difficulty accessing available services (not just for addiction) due to 鈥渓ack of support navigating the resources and referral system.鈥� They said that they often 鈥渉ad to call repeatedly to get someone on the phone or felt they could not follow up with services because they were only offered during certain times, such as regular business hours.鈥�

And hopefully you don’t need help the week of Christmas or on President鈥檚 Day.

鈥淵ou have to go to this lady who has to then evaluate you and then go to that lady who has to then recommend you. It鈥檚 like they eat up more of your time just keeping themselves employed duplicating the same process,鈥� one participant said.

They also noted that they generally learn of services and programs through word of mouth rather than outreach programs.

Second only to job loss, respondents said the 鈥減rimary event or condition that led to respondents鈥� current episode of homelessness鈥� was alcohol or drug use at 13%.

Only 11% said they could not afford rent increase, which led them to be homeless, but you wouldn鈥檛 expect such a low number given the attention the mayor and council give to affordable housing initiatives.
