Seattle City Council sets August deadline for mayor to sort out King County Regional Homelessness Authority mess

Seattle City Council approved a resolution this week requiring Mayor Katie Wilson to recommend by August 1st whether to restructure, continue, or dissolve the King County Regional Homelessness Authority following a May audit that revealed a $44.7 million spending shortfall. The decision affects regional homelessness services funded partly by King County and state/federal grants alongside Seattle contributions. Maple Valley residents may see impacts depending on how regional homelessness policy shifts.
