“What we saw today was a continued failure of our city response to addressing the root cause of homelessness,” said Morales.
Aug 3, 2022, 6:09 PMAs encampment sweeps continue to increase throughout the summer in King County, Councilmember Tammy Morales believes the executive office is failing the homeless by not providing permanent shelter.
Morales stated the city has been moving the homeless from one neighborhood to another for years and it only creates a nuisance for neighbors, while shelters are just a one-night solution.“The solution is permanent affordable housing,” Morales said. “Increased workforce housing and places that people can afford. Two, three bedroom apartments that people can afford. We are not building homes fast enough, we don’t have access to mental health services. The shelter system is not a solution.
