Organizations working to fight the homelessness issue throughout King County will get a share of nearly $11 million thanks to Pearl Jam and its partners.

Pearl Jam's Home Shows initiative raised approximately $10.8 million. The money was raised with the help of around 170 partners, which included corporations, philanthropies, and other businesses, and thousands of individuals.

Most partners have already designated the organizations that will receive about $7.8 million in funding.

More than $1.3 million is being distributed to nonprofits Pearl Jam has selected, with guidance from an advisory group. The funding will target two areas: reducing the length of time people experience homelessness in the county, and youth homelessness.

An additional $1.7 million is left over and will be granted based on a future needs assessment.

“From the start, we hoped businesses, foundations and individuals would see themselves in this work,” said Stone Gossard, Pearl Jam guitarist, co-founder and lifelong Seattle resident. “The Home Shows initiative is about bringing the issue of homelessness closer to all of us—increasing our understanding of a complex issue, our empathy for our neighbors experiencing homelessness, and our resolve for working together. We’re proud of what our city has done. Now we need to stay inspired. There’s a lot more to do.”

In August, Pearl Jame held a two-day concert as it collected donations to fight homelessness. The band promised to match every dollar up to $960,000.

“Seattle is our hometown. When there are challenges here, we want to be part of the solution. It's heartening so many organizations and individuals coming together to do the same," Gossard said. "It's going to take all of us."
