The Interfaith Task Force on Homelessness has set forth its vision as being "the informed, reliable, and consistent voice of the religious community on homelessness in the Seattle and King County area." The basic goals of the ITFH are "to provide a vehicle for the religious community to exert moral leadership among leaders in the public, business, nonprofit, and private sectors, and to exhort these leaders to form regional solutions that end homelessness and create affordable supportive housing."

According to the 2010 One Night County of the Homeless in King County, there were at least 2,759 unsheltered and 8,937 total for One Night
