NHCDI awarded $6.1 million to provide affordable housing in the Central District.
2024 - The Washington State Department of Commerce awarded $6.1 million to the New Hope Community Development Institute as part of their commitment to creating and preserving affordable housing in the State of Washington near public mass transit. The grants are funded by a legislative appropriation matching a donation from Amazon’s Housing Equity Fund. “These grants are a great example of public and private partners coming together to tackle the significant shortage of affordable housing in Washington,” said Commerce Director Mike Fong. “Developing housing near public transit centers is key to building vibrant communities, making it possible for more people to live near jobs, educational opportunities and essential services.” Construction is slated to begin at the end of 2024 on New Hope Family Housing and will provide 92 units of affordable housing in Seattle’s Central District.
