flag Seattle to add 1,000 emergency shelter beds in 2026 using tiny homes, leased buildings, and fast-tracked permits.

flag Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson unveiled a plan to add 1,000 emergency shelter beds in 2026 by expanding tiny home villages, increasing capacity, streamlining permits, and using $4.5–5 million in unspent funds. flag The initiative includes leasing buildings, allowing up to 250-bed shelters in some districts, and bypassing environmental reviews under an emergency declaration. flag While supported by some officials and nonprofits, critics question the long-term effectiveness and lack of clarity on locations, outreach, and monitoring. flag The city aims to move people from streets to shelter quickly, with services provided based on individual needs.
