Affordable housing
In Washington, it can be especially difficult for low-wage workers to find affordable housing. A full-time worker earning minimum wage ($8.07 per hour) in Washington would need to work close to 80 hours per week for 52 weeks a year in order to afford a two-bedroom apartment at Fair Market Rent.
Education
Less than 25 percent of homeless high school students in Washington graduate,which has a significantly negative impact on their lifetime earning potential.
