Housing Assistance
Washington State, the west coast, and much of the United States is experiencing a housing shortage crisis, making it very difficult for people with low-incomes to afford safe, quality housing. Washington OFM estimates that we need to build 1.1 million new homes in the next 20 years, both to make up our deficit and accomodate future population—up to 32,000 of those units in Skagit County alone.
