This report will help us understand what is working, and ensure the discounts reach more eligible users over time. While the passage of this legislation is an important milestone, we know the work doesn't end here. (3/4)

We’re proud of what we showed the world Seattle is all about! When we set ambitious goals and work together, this city delivers. How do we keep that momentum going even when the world’s eyes aren’t on us?

This annual report will help track participation and identify possible gaps to increase future enrollment. We are now one step closer to easing the delivery of $35 million in utility bill relief to Seattle's working families and seniors. 2/3

"...We urge the Mayor and Council to move forward with the Housing Accelerator now and pair it with a permanent fix so we're not back here in a couple of years. More process shouldn't become one more reason we delay results." @MayorofSeattle @SeattleCouncil

Speaking for our growing community @ForSeattleWA, got a chance to vocalize the need for results over more process to meet the extremely urgent need to kickstart building more homes here in Seattle theurbanist.org/mha-housing-ac…

Seattle has nearly stopped adding new homes, and rents are going to go up. The city can act now. We're backing the Housing Accelerator moving through Council, and pushing for the long-term fix to MHA that has to follow. Where we stand, and how to weigh in: forseattle.substack.com/p/a-fix-to-cre…

The bill doesn't remove a single environmental protection. Critical areas, stormwater, tree rules all stay. It just stops a process that, in a decade, delayed housing for months and almost never changed a thing. King County, Bellevue, Tacoma and Everett already work this way.

Seattle has an extra housing-appeal step the state already dropped. Over 10 years it delayed decisions by months and changed the outcome twice. Councilmember Eddie Lin's bill, heard July 1, would fix it. Here's what it does, in plain English: forseattle.substack.com/p/clearing-red… #sepa

Seattle sets aside ~$35M a year to cut low-income families' power & water bills, then fails to deliver most of it: only ~36–44% of eligible households are enrolled. Our new piece on why, the fix, and why we back @CMDanStrauss's bill: forseattle.substack.com/p/udp-35-milli…

This @seattletimes op-ed lays out the case for accelerating new ways of building homes, the exact kind of technology that's a part of the HOP (Housing Opportunities) legislation that's before @SeattleCouncil right now, with a final vote coming this Tues: seattletimes.com/opinion/mass-t…

New homebuilding in Seattle is down ~90% since 2020. Fewer new homes mean tighter competition and higher rents to come. We've joined @sightline and others encouraging the Mayor and Council to update MHA. Our proposal (MHA 2.0): forseattle.substack.com/p/mha-20-a-bet…
