‘Doesn’t sound like they’re much of an authority on anything’: Jake and Spike call for scrapping KCRHA after nearly $17M shortfall

The King County Regional Homelessness Authority faces renewed scrutiny after a review found a nearly $17 million funding shortfall that Seattle and King County taxpayers must cover. The agency overspent its budget based on grant money it failed to secure after not meeting service goals. Seattle Councilmember Maritza Rivera and King County Councilmember Rod Dembowski are calling to dissolve the agency, citing years of mismanagement and five CEO changes since its inception.
