Mayor announces legislation to rapidly expand shelter & asks Seattleites to be part of solution

Mayor Katie B. Wilson joined with community leaders, neighbors, and service providers at the Hope Factory in SoDo on Wednesday to announce citywide, all-hands-on-deck effort to rapidly expand shelter across Seattle and start bringing people inside. The mayor announced she is transmitting a package of new legislation to City Council which will accelerate her efforts to open 1,000 new units of shelter and emergency housing with wrap-around services to bring people inside. The legislation will speed the development of new shelter, allow successful shelters to serve more people, and allocate the necessary funds to bring people inside and match them to the right services. The mayor also launched a citywide call to volunteer to show support and be part of the solution. Learn more here: https://wilson.seattle.gov/2026/03/04...
