Everyone should have an opportunity to live in a safe, affordable home. Doubling the voter-approved Seattle Housing Levy to $290 million will build and preserve thousands of quality, affordable homes for the most vulnerable families and individuals in our community and for low-wage workers. This innovative property tax levy has been approved five times by Seattle voters and is hailed as a national model. The Housing Levy has a 30-year track record of creating affordable housing with services to support at-risk families, seniors, and people with disabilities, providing rental assistance to prevent homelessness, and preserving housing to prevent displacement of long-term residents
