SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle City Council has unanimously approved a plan for nearly $130 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds that will go to Seattle residents, programs and businesses. The Seattle Times reports most of the money will come from virus relief that President Joe Biden signed in March. Mayor Jenny Durkan worked with council leaders last month to draft the plan, and the council made minor adjustments. She is expected to sign the legislation. The largest amount of funding — $49 million — will go toward housing and homelessness efforts, including property acquisition, tiny homes, encampment outreach and vehicle lots.
