‘I am shocked and outraged’: $13 million in public funds unaccounted for in King County homelessness agency

A forensic investigation found $13 million in unaccounted public funds at the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA), covering operations from 2021 through July 2025. Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson called for immediate corrective action, while some city council members are demanding the agency be overhauled or dismantled. KCRHA says no fraud was found and is working to resolve accounting discrepancies, though county leaders cite systemic failures from pandemic-era emergency spending.
