Funding & Support What does it take to provide affordable housing in the Seattle area? The actual cost of constructing 750 new affordable homes is pegged at around $257 million, but that is just a part of the cost for providing affordable housing.

This model has made it possible for us to complete our construction projects as planned while providing needed assistance to our residents. Our sources of funding are private individual and corporate contributions and loans, government funding and land donations, property development fees from our consulting work, rental income, and interest earned on investment holdings.
