SeaGreen Affordable Housing Guide was developed to promote energy conservation, operational savings and sustainable building practices in affordable multifamily housing projects. The strategies included in SeaGreen work to reduce operating costs, promote healthy environments and protect and conserve resources in City funded affordable housing projects. Venturing beyond current practice, these strategies protect and enhance Seattle’s affordable housing stock and the community as a whole.
