BURIEN, Wash. — The city of Burien could be considering hiring a private company to conduct its homeless sweeps. Over the last couple of months the city has struggled to find a solution to its homeless crises and an encampment has been moved to different locations in the city multiple times . 'I have a lot of concerns,' said Burien City Councilmember Cydney Moore. She thinks hiring the private company ‘The More We Love' could be more harmful than helpful. 'I would certainly hesitate to invest public funding of which we have very little into an organization that can't provide any documentation of their effectiveness,' Moore said.
