One Seattle Housing Agenda

Mayor Harrell's housing agenda promotes a vision of communities where people live near jobs, transit, schools, stores, and parks. This approach strengthens neighborhoods, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and helps preserve our environment by shortening commutes and preventing displacement by keeping communities intact. 

  • Since 2022, over 37,000 units of housing have been built in Seattle and another 22,000 have been permitted for construction.
  • A historic investment in affordable housing was made with the passage of the $970 million Housing Levy in 2023.
  • In addition to building and preserving affordable housing, Seattle provided 1,800 referrals to indoor shelter in 2024 to people experiencing homelessness through coordinated, compassionate outreach.
