Pierce County plans to spend nearly $110 million on housing- and homelessness-related program and administrative services in 2026-2027, a 16% increase from 2024-2025, according to an upcoming Human Services presentation. The county's 2026-2027 budget totals about $3.5 billion, as previously reported by The News Tribune.
