(The Center Square) – The King County Regional Homelessness Authority has removed Continuum of Care Board Co-Chair Shanéé Colston from her position.

Colston was asked by the agency to step down from her position last month after she shouted down a fellow board member who spoke out against the appointment of a new board member who is a registered sex offender.

The Continuum of Care member convening took place on June 23, in which Colston was removed and every board member on the ballot was approved.

King County Regional Homelessness Authority Senior Director of External Affairs Anne Martens confirmed that Colston was no longer on the board in an email to The Center Square.
