Habitat stories: VOTE YES for Homes on Prop. 1 by Nov. 7th

Since 1986 the Housing Levy has been the cornerstone of funding for affordable housing in Seattle, creating and preserving over 11,000 affordable rental homes and over 1,000 homeownership opportunities throughout the city. Thanks to investments from the Housing Levy, over 16,000 people currently live in safe, stable homes they can afford. For nearly 40 years, Seattle residents have consistently supported this critical resource, with the most recent Housing Levy in 2016 receiving a voter approval rate of over 70%.
The 2016 Housing Levy is set to expire at the end of 2023. On June 13, 2023, Mayor Harrell signed legislation approving the City of Seattle’s 2023 Housing Levy proposal and sending it to voters for their approval this fall. The 2023 Housing Levy will be on the General Election ballot on November 7, 2023. If approved by voters, the 2023 Housing Levy will be implemented for seven years, from 2024-2030.

How long do they have to live in them before they inevitably flip it?

[@ryandonohue5037]

they cant flip them. the homes are protected under a 99-year ground lease that ensures that they are sold to someone else who income-qualifies for a Habitat home. check out this video to learn about the Habitat model! - th-cam.com/video/g3emHDRZxnE/w-d-xo.html
