The governance body would consist of key community leaders representing very subregion of the county and the business sector. It is not clear under what auspice this body would function. Nor is it clear how the membership would be selected.

The Plan expects each city to determine a reasonable amount of its resources to commit to subregional strategies to end homelessness. It is not clear as to what to this actually means. If the intent is for each city to contribute funds to a common pool, especially from general fund budgets, it will endanger the current support the City provides to local agencies providing services. The Plan does not address how this will be accomplished though it would require Council approval of some type of agreement. If the intent is for cities to identify funds currently used to support programs to assist the homeless and maintain that level of support this would be more palatable.

O The Plan calls for securing 9,000 untts of housing for the homeless. The intent;is to create permanent housing opportunities for those that have been homeless; Staff agrees that the need is for permanent housing and a better solution than shelter and transitional housing. Staff is concerned that the development of the , 4,500 new units not be centralized in one subregion of the County. And that there . should be a concentrated effort to evaluate the current housing stock and be sure that all sub regions have an equal share of low income housing before any additional units are added in South King County.
