Mayor Announces Proposals to Jumpstart Affordable Housing Development

Spokane's Mayor unveiled new legislative proposals designed to accelerate affordable housing development, guided by the city's H. O. M. E. Starts Here Plan.

These initiatives respond to the pressing housing crisis, which has seen rising costs and limited availability of affordable options.
