The King County Regional Homelessness Authority faces a $16.7 million shortfall stemming from weak financial management, according to a follow-up review. The deficit includes $15.6 million in lost administrative revenue and $3.3 million in overspending on software, staffing, and legal fees. In 2027, KCRHA will transfer local contract administration back to Seattle and King County as the agency restructures and downscales its operations.
