The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) has opened applications for its 2025 Housing Capital Fund, making approximately $3.5 million available to support the construction and preservation of affordable housing across South King County.

Experienced housing developers committed to addressing the critical need for affordable housing in these communities are also invited to apply.
