tiny homes, and youth shelters. It was noted that there is very limited availability of
youth shelters in King County. Questions arose about incentives for developers and how
City -owned property could be utilized for low-income housing initiatives. Commissioners
also had questions about how the Black Home Initiative works, including eligibility and
where qualified buyers could purchase homes. These topics will be discussed at the July
