Vision and Mission

The Housing Division (HSD) invests public resources to create, preserve and enhance safe and affordable housing for Washington residents.

We work in partnership with private lenders, non-profit organizations, local governments, other state agencies and the federal government to strategically invest in affordable housing opportunities for the maximum number of households our combined resources will allow. Low-income individuals and families, farmworkers and persons with special needs benefit from state Housing Services programs. We contribute to a vital safety net of emergency shelters and transitional housing programs for homeless families and individuals statewide.

Strategic Goals

• Create sustainable, affordable housing for low-income households and persons with special needs.
• Preserve and improve existing affordable housing.
• Assist vulnerable families and individuals with services to meet their basic housing needs.
