Seattle and King County leaders are demanding reforms at the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) following a damning forensic audit. The audit revealed a staggering $44.7 million negative cash position and a $4.26 million admin deficit, including $1.26 million in unrecoverable interest charges. Despite investing over $260 million, including $113 million from Seattle in 2024, the audit exposed deep mismanagement and weak oversight. Councilmembers Maritza Rivera and Rod Dembowski are calling for the agencys dismantling, while Bob Kettle criticized leadership failures. The city and county have demanded a corrective action plan and quick fixes, signaling significant changes ahead while emphasizing the need for regional teamwork and steady services to combat homelessness.
