Seattle council president wants to rethink city's investment in King County homeless agency
After a King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) investigation found that between $8 million and $13 million in funding went unaccounted for, Seattle City Council President Joy Hollingsworth echoed Mayor Katie Wilson's concerns about the agency's fiscal management.
Hollingsworth told "The Gee and Ursula Show" on KIRO Newsradio that Seattle funds between 50 and 60% of KCRHA's overall budget and has contributed more than $500 million since the agency's inception. She said if she were presented with the audit without knowing which agency it was, she would redirect the money back into the city. She also called for more transparency and greater oversight of the agency.
