Review finds nearly $17 million shortfall at King County homelessness agency

King County and Seattle leaders announced a nearly $17 million funding shortfall at the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA), revealed by an independent review through July 31. The deficit stems from administrative spending that outpaced grant revenue as service providers used less funding than anticipated. County and city officials pledged to address the shortfall over several years while maintaining homelessness services, though some council members are calling to dissolve the agency entirely.
