Meet Seattle’s new social housing developer
Seattle Social Housing (SSH) is a new, innovative public development authority created through the passage of I-135 in 2023. Our mission is to develop, own, lease, and maintain mixed-income housing that is permanently affordable, owned as a public asset forever, and designed for people priced out of market-rate housing.
Providing homes for the people who power our economy
We aim to provide housing to low-income households and those who can’t afford market rate housing but earn too much to qualify for affordable housing. These are the people who power our economy: teachers, firefighters, service workers, and many others who are rent burdened and increasingly displaced from Seattle.

Public meetings
SSH’s 13-member board meets every third Thursday via Webex to oversee operations and requirements of the public development authority. These meetings are open to the public. Minutes of these meetings are posted once approved and a link to agendas can be found on the meetings page.
