She provided background <br />information on what the Transit Oriented Development Housing Strategies Plan is, where it came from and <br />the process for the plan creation. She provided background information about HB 1923 and the grant <br />opportunities that it gave to local jurisdictions. Through the HB 1923 legislation Tukwila was awarded <br />$100,000 from the Department of Commerce to complete a Housing Action Plan. Following are the HB <br />1923 required guidelines that a Housing Action Plan must meet: <br />• Quantify existing and projected housing needs for all income levels. <br />• Develop strategies to increase the supply of housing and variety of housing types. <br />• Consider strategies to minimize displacement of low-income residents. <br />• Review and evaluate the current housing element. <br />The announcement of HB 1923 brought the following six South King County jurisdictions together: <br />Renton, Burien, Kent, Federal Way, Auburn and Tukwila. These jurisdictions will pursue collaborative <br />efforts on the first portions of each city's Housing Action Plan to discover broad trends in the South King <br />County housing market. The second portion of the Housing Action Plan is Tukwila -specific and is <br />focused on the Transit Oriented Development area around the Tukwila International Boulevard Link <br />Light Rail Station. <br />Highlights from the South King County Collaboration: <br />South King County needs over 63,000 new homes to be built before 2040, to compensate for the <br />existing and projected housing deficit. <br />Current production rates fall short of the anticipated annual demand by approximately 1,000 homes <br />per year. <br />Tukwila City Hall • 6200 Southcenter Boulevard • Tukwila, WA 98188 • 206-433-1800 • Website: TukwilaWA.gov <br />
