Defunded
Holy crap! Seattle’s homeless industrial complex is taking a massive hit. Pallet Shelter is going out of business.
CEO Amy King announced that she is ejecting from this space saying “funding and political environments have shifted, and our customers have pivoted in how they approach this work.”
In other words, low barrier “Housing First” projects that allow drug use are being defunded by the Trump administration. The homeless housing grift is starting to implode.
This comes just a few months after socialist Mayor Katie Wilson went all in on these tiny house projects.

No Comment
I reached out to King for comment. So far no response. It’s unclear what will happen to the people living in Pallet Shelters moving forward. Seattle has several Pallet villages run by outside providers.
The company’s website is still up.
The Mayor’s Empty Village
Seattle’s Pallet village in Inter Bay is run by Everyone Deserves Housing.
After tons of pomp and circumstance by Mayor Wilson, barely anyone is living there right now.
