he strategy itself was simple: Instead of evicting struggling renters in the middle of the pandemic, the federal government would help them pay rent and utilities. It would be up to local counties and cities to assist them. Between the City of Spokane and Spokane County, more than $60 million in federal aid had been earmarked for rent and utility assistance. But distributing millions of dollars worth of free money isn't as easy as it may seem. ... Some have done better than others. Spokane County, led by SNAP, the longtime local community organization, has already given nearly half of the about $35 million it's been told to distribute. But the City of Spokane, with a Seattle-based company called LiveStories as the lead, has only distributed $9.3 million, just over a third of the amount they'd been assigned. In the meantime, both landlords and tenants were waiting for their checks to arrive. Some blamed LiveStories.
