Seattle City Council sets August deadline for mayor to sort out King County Regional Homelessness Authority mess

Seattle City Council approved a resolution requiring Mayor Katie Wilson to recommend by August 1st whether to restructure, continue, or dissolve the King County Regional Homelessness Authority, following a May audit revealing a $44.7 million spending hole. The decision affects Burien residents since KCRHA serves the broader region and any restructuring could impact how homelessness services are delivered countywide, though this is primarily a Seattle and county governance matter.
