Affordable Housing: Meet the Demand
- Issue: The Housing Trust Fund is the state's primary funding source for the creation and preservation of low-income housing. It helps local communities in every county produce, preserve, and improve affordable and special needs housing. Current demand for funds is about three times the amount available. Currently, the trust fund is $80 million per biennium and historically, King County receives about 40 percent of that amount. Raising the trust fund to $100 million could bring $4 million a year into King County to develop afforable housing locally.
