Housing and Community Development
The Housing and Community Development Division (HCD) works in partnership with organizations and communities to provide services and programs that support housing stability and affordable housing opportunities in King County. We accomplish this by awarding funds to community groups and cities through contracts – making them the primary vehicle for our services. HCD also manages King County’s Housing Repair Program, a direct service that accepts individual applications from residents. HCD does not manage properties or place individuals in affordable housing – see links below for these services.
