Seattle homelessness proposal gathers enough signatures to make ballot A homeless camp in Seattle. (KIRO 7) A charter amendment that would force the City of Seattle to act with urgency on homelessness has gathered enough signatures to make the November ballot. “We are pleased to announce that we have turned in 64,155 petition signatures to qualify Charter Amendment 29 for the November 2021 ballot!,” Compassion Seattle wrote in a newsletter on Thursday. Compassion Seattle made it clear that it wasn’t easy to gather over 64,000 signatures in the city. “Our team has endured four-and-a-half weeks of harassment, theft of petitions, assault and significant time delays, yet that did not stop us. The 64,155 signatures reflect a mandate from the people of Seattle that action to bring our unsheltered neighbors inside and to clear our parks can no longer wait.”
