Seattle Mayor Continues to Push Failed Homelessness Policies

No Plan for Drug Treatment and Recovery Options

Wednesday evening, Mayor Katie Wilson shared more details about her plan to address the homeless drug crisis destroying the city.

As expected, Wilson put an emphasis on how her office was taking the initiative to build more tiny houses and pallet shelters before the FIFA World Cup in June.

But Wilson shared virtually ZERO details on drug treatment and recovery options for addicts suffering on the streets.

Wilson just said “wrap around services” would be offered to residents at these shelters.

In other words, no requirement to use the treatment and recovery options.

It’s the same talking point parroted for more than a decade by every King County Democrat that’s presided over this state of emergency.

This now means Homeless INC will continue to profit off taxpayers and the status quo won’t change.

I also confronted Mayor Wilson about the rampant drug use uncovered inside the Low Income Housing Institute’s tiny house villages. LIHI claims drugs are not allowed in common areas but residents say it happens behind closed doors and most staff look the other way.

Anyway, LIHI is supposed to be one of the key players in Wilson’s homelessness response. Watch what she had to say.
