Cities of less than 20,000 population, E2SHB 1923 Funding Survey

Interest in E2SHB 1923 Funding

Thank you for your interest in this funding opportunity, which is intended to increase residential building capacity in Washington cities. A first round of funding was prioritized by the legislature for cities over 20,000 population. A second, smaller round of funding is available for cities under 20,000 population, which hold substantial opportunity to increase residential capacity, especially in areas well served by transit.

The "smaller city" survey is open from August 15, 2019 until October 15, 2019, and is intended to gather baseline information about the tools you may already have, and your likelihood of pursuing funding, should it be available, to adopt new tools. Filling out the survey is required if you apply for funding.

Smaller city funding applications will be available September 3, 2019, due to Commerce October 15, 2019.
