In February 2023 the House Our Neighbors coalition passed Initiative I-135, creating the first voter-approved social housing developer in the US. With limited staff and $250,000 raised, the measure passed with a 14 point margin in a low-turnout special election.

Now, we must ensure that social housing takes root in Seattle and beyond. We need to secure a revenue source for the SSHD, housing policy changes at the local and state level, and continued education of the public and elected officials on why we need social housing. To fully focus on these exciting challenges, in August 2023 we incorporated House Our Neighbors (HON) as a standalone 501(c)(4).

This event is the kickoff of the HON coalition becoming an independent entity. Come celebrate the past work of the HON coalition and get energized for what's to come. Please note that contributions to HON, which is a 501(c)(4), are not tax deductible.
