Seattle council gives mayor until August 1 to recommend future of King County homelessness agency

Seattle City Council voted 9-0 Tuesday to give Mayor Katie Wilson until August 1 to recommend whether to restructure, dissolve, or continue the King County Regional Homelessness Authority. The decision follows an April audit finding $13 million in mismanaged taxpayer funds and a $45 million deficit at the agency created in 2019. The troubled KCRHA will present a corrective action plan to council on June 5.
