The committee recommended approval of four measures that direct funding and City actions to create and preserve affordable housing across Seattle, including plans for low-income households, a ground lease to build housing with space for early learning/childcare, and purchases/transfers of land to enable development. These recommendations move the ordinances forward for City Council consideration. If approved, the actions will support more affordable rental and homeownership units and space for childcare in the affected neighborhoods.
