Snohomish County is encouraging nonprofit organizations, for-profit developers, and government agencies to submit applications to develop affordable rental housing.

An estimated $2 million in funds under the US Housing and Urban Development HOME Investment Partnerships Programs (HOME) is anticipated to be available for the 2019 program year and the Chemical Dependency and Mental Health (CDMH) program available for 2018. Projects must benefit low-income persons in Snohomish County.

Details of eligibility and other program requirements are available in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), which can be found on-line at: https://wa-snohomishcounty.civicplus.com/754/Housing-Projects. Applications must be completed and returned to the Snohomish County Human Services Department by 4 p.m. on May 31, 2018.
