This course, part of a 5-course series filmed live at AIA Seattle’s 2025 Housing Forum, explores Seattle’s recent creation of Social Housing Developer through voter Initiative 135 in 2023 and examine case studies of successful implementation in the U.S. and abroad. In 2025, House Our Neighbors helped create an annual progressive revenue stream dedicated to the Social Housing Developer through Proposition 1A. With a well-documented housing supply and affordability crisis, Seattle has joined many metro areas across the county in passing legislation to build Social Housing as one solution. Social housing addresses the need for true affordability across the income spectrum through constructing and acquiring housing that is permanently affordable and publicly owned in perpetuity. Social Housing is available to all incomes, permanently affordable and held as a public good in perpetuity by removing itself from the speculative market.
