The Multifamily Housing Unit in Washington continues its efforts to develop affordable housing, having processed 112 applications seeking $538 million in funding. In the third quarter of 2025, the unit assisted in the creation of 186 new affordable homes and nine shelter beds across seven counties. Notable projects include the Lexington Avenue Home in Kelso, which houses adults with disabilities, and the King Fisher Tiny House Village in Tacoma, providing shelter for previously unhoused adults. Other significant developments include the Searing House in Issaquah, CCAP Modulars in Grays Harbor, and the Crosswalk Teen Shelter in Spokane, each targeting specific populations like youth experiencing homelessness and adults with complex health needs. The unit emphasizes technical assistance for new developers and encourages housing providers serving under-represented communities to seek pre-development support. Property managers and developers are invited to provide feedback on community gardens and suggest content for future newsletters, aiming to enhance community engagement and resources in affordable housing initiatives.
