Housing
This webpage assembles and presents information on housing issues, legal authority, sample ordinances, programs, plans, best practices and resources for local governments, particularly Washington cities and counties. The increasing scarcity of affordable housing for moderate as well as low-income families and individuals has reached the critical stage in Washington and many other parts of the country. As a result, this page particularly focuses on providing information on affordable housing.
If you have information to share or are aware of other websites that we should link to, please contact Sue Enger, Planning Consultant at senger@mrsc.org, or call at (206) 625-1300.
