Seattle council gives mayor until August 1 to recommend future of King County homelessness agency
The Seattle City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a resolution charting next steps for the troubled King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA).
The KCRHA resolution, sponsored by Seattle Councilmembers Alexis Mercedes Rinck and Dionne Foster, gives the Seattle Mayor’s Office until August 1 to recommend whether to restructure, dissolve, or continue the embattled homelessness agency.
“Now is not a time for knee-jerk reactions,” Rinck said ahead of Tuesday’s vote. “Our homelessness response system is already in a delicate place and needs to be handled with caution.”
Calls to dissolve King County homelessness agency grow louder
In April, Seattle City Councilmember Maritza Rivera and King County Councilmember Rod Dembowski announced they would issue companion resolutions calling for the dissolution of the KCRHA.
