Housing and Community Development Division

Department of Community and Human Services

Building a vibrant community where everyone has a stable home.

The Housing and Community Development Division provides both services and programs to improve the community in King County.

Though HCD provides some direct-service that our King County residents can access through individual applications, this is only a small portion of our division. HCD primarily serves the public through our programs that award funds to community organizations and cities through contracts--making them the primary vehicle for our services.

The King County Housing Finance Program (HFP) administers funds for the development and preservation of affordable housing throughout King County.

Partnerships are encouraged among local governments, public housing authorities, nonprofit housing developers, for-profit developers, and service providers in order to produce the greatest number of units for the most reasonable public investment, and to provide appropriate supportive services to residents with special needs.
