## Resource

King County’s homelessness agency is facing a major scandal after an audit revealed $13 million in unaccounted public funds and a $45 million deficit—while claiming it’s owed $8 million by Seattle and the county. Critics want the agency shut down, but leaders are pushing for restructuring to better access federal funds. The agency says the missing money was for services already rendered, but officials won’t pay until an independent auditor verifies every dollar. The situation remains tense as lives and millions hang in the balance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
