Officials call for report of ‘corrective actions’ at King County Regional Homelessness Authority

King County Council approved a motion Tuesday to increase oversight of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority after an audit revealed a $44.7 million spending deficit with millions unaccounted for. County Executive Girmay Zahilay must deliver a comprehensive report by August 1 on corrective actions and the authority’s future. The motion, sponsored by Councilmembers Jorge Barón, Steffanie Fain, and Rod Dembowski, comes as Seattle increasingly moves homelessness services away from the regional authority.
