This bill updates WA housing law so Public Development Authority tools and zoning flexibilities also apply to Social Housing. It allows cities to waive certain zoning rules and support projects that lower costs and speed up mixed-income, publicly owned housing for low and middle incomes. Public housing serves only low-income households; social housing serves mixed incomes to create more affordable multifamily homes.
