episode King County’s Last Chance for Homeless Funding | Seattle News cover

Description

King County is racing against a July 3 deadline to secure $65 million in federal homelessness funding, restructuring its regional authority to distance itself from past mismanagement after LA’s agency lost funding. The move returns housing contract management to Seattle and King County while keeping the authority as the federal funding channel — nearly a third of its budget — to show proactive reform. But federal policy may be shifting toward temporary housing, and a recent court block adds uncertainty. Despite internal audit revelations of $8 million in losses, County Executive Girmay Zahilay and Mayor Katie Wilson vow to submit the strongest application, even as they brace for possible funding cuts due to their focus on permanent housing.

Library Seeks New Director Amid Budget Crisis | Seattle News

The Timberland Regional Library is on the hunt for a new executive director, turning to a national search firm after interim leader Andrea Heisel took the reins in May. With former director Cheryl Heywood’s resignation in March coinciding with a $3.5 million budget shortfall — caused by failing to meet their own fiscal policy of having 30% of revenue in the general fund — the board is racing to find someone who can steer the system through tough times. Board president Brian Mittge stressed they’re committed to a transparent, community-driven process, seeking input from staff, patrons, and the wider five-county region as they look to rebuild and stabilize the library’s future.
