跟进:西雅图市议会8比1通过房车居民援助计划:500万美元投向安全停车与外展服务,无许可证房车在公共街道每次限停两小时

位于华盛顿州 King 县的西雅图市,西雅图市议会10月20日以8比1表决通过由六项法案组成的「车辆居民援助计划」(Vehicle Resident Assistance Program),为以汽车、房车与旅行拖车为家的人群建立许可证制度,并把他们与庇护所和住房对接。本报10月20日曾报道该计划当日付诸表决的安排。
该计划动用500万美元现有市府资金,投向安全停车场、车辆存放与外展服务;市府可为搬入庇护所或住房的人存放其车辆,财政与行政服务部主任也获得更灵活调配资源的权限。持有许可证的房车与拖车居民,只要遵守市法规与计划规则、并留在合适庇护所的等候名单上,即可继续住在车内;违反规则或多次拒绝合适庇护安排的,许可证可被撤销。没有许可证的房车在公共街道每次限停两小时。
法案包还更新了该市25年未修订的废弃车辆法规。法案提案人、议员 Dan Strauss 表示,该地区无庇护无家可归者中每四人就有一人住在车里,这些措施旨在为他们打通通往庇护与住房的路径。法案将送交市长签署;如获签署,多数条款在30天内生效,房车规则定于2027年4月30日生效、2027年7月31日经警告期后开始执法。

Follow-Up: Seattle City Council Approves the Vehicle Resident Assistance Program 8-1: $5 Million for Safe Parking and Outreach as Unpermitted RVs Face a Two-Hour Street Parking Limit
Seattle, Washington, in King County — The Seattle City Council voted 8-1 on Tuesday, October 20, to approve a six-bill package creating a Vehicle Resident Assistance Program for people living in cars, motorhomes and travel trailers, following up on the vote previewed in GSM's October 20 report.
The legislation directs $5 million in existing city funding to services including safe parking lots, vehicle storage and outreach, and authorizes the city to store vehicles for people moving into shelter or housing. Under the permit system, people living in motorhomes or travel trailers may remain in them if they follow city laws and program rules and stay on a waitlist for appropriate shelter; the city may revoke a permit for rule violations or for repeatedly turning down appropriate shelter offers. RVs without permits would be limited to two hours of parking on public streets at a time.
The package also updates Seattle's junk-vehicle law, which the city said had not been revised in 25 years. Councilmember Dan Strauss, the legislation's sponsor, said one in four people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in the region lives in a vehicle, and that the measures are intended to create a path to shelter and housing. The bills now go to the mayor for signature; if signed, most provisions take effect in 30 days, while the RV regulations are scheduled to take effect April 30, 2027, with enforcement starting July 31, 2027, after a warning period.
