Pacific Northwest

Together with partners and funders, we’ve helped create or preserve 50,000 affordable homes by leveraging $3.2 billion in capital throughout Washington and Oregon.

Some of our key programs include:

Home and Hope: Facilitates the development of affordable homes and early learning centers on underutilized, tax-exempt sites owned by public agencies and nonprofits
Washington Early Learning Loan Fund: Provides real estate, small business and start-up loans, along with technical assistance grants, to nurture the growth of early learning facilities
Regional Equitable Development Initiative Fund: Provides $21 million in low-interest financing to acquire property in transit-accessible areas in Washington’s King, Snohomish and Pierce counties to preserve and create affordable homes
State and local policy: Advocates for affordable homes and community development in the Pacific Northwest
