Background and Overview
Directed by Ordinance 19146 and Motion 15539, King County released the Anti-Displacement Strategies Report in 2021. Motion 15539 directs the Executive to pursue “strategies to implement community land trusts; including funding a year-long community engagement process with monthly meetings to ensure that the North Highline and Skyway-West Hill community voices are being included in the process to shape any possible strategy; and exploration into a variety of funding sources for such a community land trust.” In response to that recommendation, this RFP will deploy up to $175,000 to initiate a year-long community planning process, or a year-long implementation process to further explore permanently affordable housing models in Skyway-West Hill, or North Highline.
The goal of this RFP is to increase the supply of affordable housing to mitigate, repair, or prevent residential displacement in Skyway-West Hill and North Highline. These RFP funds are intended to fund either a community planning process or implementation process to explore permanently affordable housing models in Skyway-West Hill and North Highline communities.
