Good news that substantial funds are being spent on the homeless.
"Seattle will get $116 million from the American Rescue Plan Act and an additional $12 million from the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. The city council will vote to authorize spending the funds on June 1. The biggest portions of the money will go toward Seattle's homelessness response and community well-being efforts, like direct cash assistance and aid programs.
Seattle will spend $49.2 million total on investments in permanent housing and resources for emergency housing, shelter and services, according to the plan. Over $28 million will go toward developing permanent housing alone. Around $13 million will go toward enhanced shelter and outreach, building capacity with housing providers, and additional diversion efforts.
