This is our online engagement hub. Here you can find opportunities to share stories, ideas, and feedback. You can also download documents, presentations, and other key information.

Overview

The Affordable Housing Strategy is a short-term action plan that identifies and sequences steps the city can take to continue to address the need for affordable housing in the community. The City of Bellevue is updating its existing 2017 Affordable Housing Strategy to implement new policy direction, reflect changing market conditions, and support the development and preservation of additional affordable housing units.

Updating the Affordable Housing Strategy will identify the next set of near- and mid- term actions to help the city achieve the new affordable housing target and meet other affordable housing priorities. Council launched the update to the Affordable Housing Strategy in November 2024. Planning and engagement will occur over the course of a year.
