On Tuesday, Jan 20, Executive Zahilay announced $23.7 million for eight affordable housing developments across South King County, East King County, and the City of Seattle. Together, these investments will create 672 affordable homes, reflecting both the scale of the region’s housing demand and King County’s ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of a growing and increasingly diverse population. 

“The demand for affordable housing in King County is urgent and undeniable,” said Executive Zahilay. “Too many individuals and families throughout our county are being priced out of the communities they call home or are unable to secure safe, affordable housing in our neighborhoods. Everyone deserves a place to live with dignity and stability, and this investment reflects our commitment to ensure residents in King County can find and keep an affordable home in the communities where they work, go to school, raise families, and belong.” Read more.
