Affordable Housing

Island County Affordable Housing

Island County recognizes the large need for affordable housing on both Whidbey Island and Camano islands. It is committed to increasing the availability of affordable housing and related services throughout our community.

HB 1590 and HB 1406

To further support this effort, Island County opted in to House Bill 1590 to create a funding source for affordable housing, operations and maintenance and associated services. This coupled with House Bill 1406 provides a revenue stream to support the development of affordable housing in Island County.
