It's been nearly 10 years since King County rolled out its Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness. Today, the King County Council is set to "consider renewing legislation that allows tent encampments for another 10 years in the county’s unincorporated areas," according to the Seattle Times.

A lot has happened since the plan to end homelessness launched in 2005, but the fact of today's vote pretty much sums up how successful the plan's been. As county council member Rod Dembowski told the Times, "The problem has not been solved, obviously.” The low today is going to be in the high 30s.
