SEATTLE (AP) — A trio of Seattle health companies, including two of the city’s hospitals, have announced $15 million in donations for projects aimed at the homeless.

The money will help fund three projects geared toward helping the chronically homeless, who experts say make up a limited proportion of the homeless overall but can be among the most difficult to reach.

The funds will pay for a relatively small portion of three building projects in the city, but the group behind the projects said they plan a campaign to fund the projects and others. The three projects will collectively create around 290 units of housing that include on-site staffing to help residents stay connected to medical, counseling, and other support services.
