HOP legislation passed 9-0 at @SeattleCouncil just now! A moment to celebrate one step towards many more homes, more quickly, in our fantastic city. Shoutouts to sponsors CM Eddie Lin, CM @Alexis4Seattle. Up next: tracking HOP's impact. For a refresher: https://t.co/FGiC0CSoPL

This @seattletimes op-ed lays out the case for accelerating new ways of building homes, the exact kind of technology that's a part of the HOP (Housing Opportunities) legislation that's before @SeattleCouncil right now, with a final vote coming this Tues: https://t.co/gk2x1ahZuQ

HOP is one vote away! Huge thanks to @SeattleCouncil's Land Use Chair Eddie Lin, CM @Alexis4Seattle, CM Dionne Foster, and @CMDanStrauss for moving it through committee. Join us Tues 6/2, 2pm at City Hall to help get it across the finish line: https://t.co/FGiC0CSoPL

New homebuilding in Seattle is down ~90% since 2020. Fewer new homes mean tighter competition and higher rents to come.

We've joined @sightline and others encouraging the Mayor and Council to update MHA. Our proposal (MHA 2.0): https://t.co/v0VwowDrbt

A teacher in Rainier Beach shouldn't have to commute from Tacoma. But that's the math right now.

9 For Seattle members showed up on the mic at City Hall this AM to support Housing Opportunities (HOP) to ensure more homes are built sooner.

For several, it was the first time giving public comment. We showed up because we believe Seattle can grow in a way that works for all.

[For Seattle @ForSeattleWA]

Thank you CM Eddie Lin and CM @Alexis4Seattle for sponsoring this legislation and to the full @SeattleCouncil for hearing us. We'll keep showing up!

Our first policy deep dive is live. Seattle's apartment permit pipeline has collapsed, down 88% from its 2020 peak. The Housing Opportunities legislation is one concrete fix. Here's what it does and how to push it forward.

We're for something at a time when there's a lot to be against. For hope, progress, and changes people can actually feel.

We started For Seattle because Seattle often agrees on what it wants, but struggles to make it real. New post on who we are and why we started:

Year 1: advance a Housing Opportunity package through City Council, build a community of several hundred engaged residents, and graduate 50 Seattleites through a Civics 101 program.

[For Seattle @ForSeattleWA]

That's why we started For Seattle: motivated Seattleites helping the city follow through on what matters most. Housing. Homelessness. Cost of living. Mobility.

Seattle should be building ~6,000 homes/year. We're producing closer to 2,000. 16,000+ people are experiencing homelessness across King County, up 26% since 2022. These aren't inevitable outcomes. They're focus problems.
