Select Committee on Homelessness & Housing Affordability
The purpose of the Select Committee on Homelessness and Housing Affordability is to deliberate on issues related to homelessness - an issue of citywide importance. This requires broader coordination and centralization, a Council structure that pulls together all Councilmembers with committee responsibilities for various city departments. As many as 16 City departments are involved in the city's homelessness response. The departments include the City Auditor's Office, City Budget Office, Department of Construction and Inspections, Finance and Administrative Services, City Attorney's Office, Fire Department, Police Department, Office of Housing, Human Services Department, Department of Neighborhoods, Parks and Recreation, Seattle City Light, Seattle Public Utilities, Seattle Libraries, Office for Civil Rights, and Seattle Department of Transportation. The select committee is charged with developing the principles and policies and identifying potential revenue sources to address the homelessness crisis.
