About the Housing Action Plan Project
In early 2022, the City of Sammamish was awarded a Housing Action Plan and Implementation (HAPI) Grant from the Washington State Department of Commerce.
Working closely with A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH) and a consultant to meet the grant's objectives, the City will develop and adopt a Housing Action Plan focused on expanding missing middle and affordable housing opportunities, housing located near services and transportation routes, and addressing conflicting market demand.
The Housing Action Plan will also help the City be responsive to regional and statewide policies and requirements like the King County Countywide Planning Policies, VISION 2050, and the Washington State Growth Management Act.
