House Our Neighbors: What is it?

The House Our Neighbors Coalition initially formed in 2021 to oppose Charter Amendment 29. After it was defeated, HON proposed our solution to the homelessness and housing crisis: social housing. The magnitude and scale of the housing crisis, both here in Seattle and across the country make it clear that currently affordable housing strategies are not sufficient. This crisis impacts everyone: from those of us living outside, to teachers, bus drivers, human service workers, and all people who live, work and play in cities across the country .

Social housing addresses the need for true affordability across the income spectrum, through constructing and acquiring housing that is permanently affordable and publicly owned in perpetuity — and crucially, available to virtually all who need it.
