Development Services works in partnership with city, county, tribal, non-profit and other organizations throughout Washington and Idaho to develop affordable housing and/or supportive services projects for local communities. These projects include multi-family rental housing, emergency shelters, housing with supportive services for seniors and people with disabilities, and social service program centers, as well as preservation of existing federally subsidized housing that is at risk of conversion to market rate housing. Projects typically use both public and private funding sources and involve complex multi-source financial structuring.

Development Services clients share our philosophy that every person ought to have the opportunity to live affordably in their own community, in an appropriate environment that enhances personal well-being and helps the neighborhood to thrive. By helping our clients develop housing and community facilities in their own service areas, we can significantly increase the number of affordable rental homes and supportive services projects available in our region.
