Plan for RV safe lot in Seattle stalls while officials search for willing host
Aplan to create a designated lot for people living in RVs in Seattle has stalled while officials search for a property owner who is willing to host the program.
The King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) awarded a $1.9 million contract to the Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) last summer with a goal of opening the RV lot as soon as possible.
“If we could just find somebody to be a hero and offer us the 30,000 - 40,000 square feet we are looking for, we could make this program happen very quickly," said Jon Grant, the Chief Strategy Officer of LIHI. "This is a program that would come with 24/7 staffing, case management and services - so there really isn’t a huge risk to the property owner."
The program would allow between 35 to 40 RVs at a time, and the residents would work with caseworkers to connect with long-term housing options.
