(The Center Square) – The King County Regional Homelessness Authority’s recent setbacks have coincided with Seattle announcing it will soon pull back some annual funding from the authority, but some cities are still locked in on fund efforts to combat homelessness through the organization.
Seattle informed the King County Regional Homelessness Authority that it was pulling $11.7 million in annual funding from the agency starting in 2024 and through 2025.
The agency reached an interlocal agreement with North King County cities back in late 2022. The cities of Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell and Woodinville are funding $249,317 toward the King County Regional Homelessness Authority’s 2024 budget, which represents 0.1% of the agency’s $249.1 million budget.
In comparison, Seattle is funding $165.9 million on homelessness efforts in 2024, with $109.3 million being allocated to the King County Regional Homelessness Authority.
