The city adopted an Affordable Housing Strategy (AHS) in 2017, which includes 5 strategies and 21 actions to increase the availability and access to affordable housing over the next ten years. The AHS builds from and supplements these efforts with additional effective tools. The primary purpose of the AHS is to improve affordable housing opportunities throughout the city consistent with City Council priorities, Comprehensive Plan guidance, and Economic Development Plan Strategies.
The City Council launched an update to the Affordable Housing Strategy in November 2024 that is ongoing. For information or to subscribe to updates on the ongoing project, please visit EngagingBellevue.
