Lack of housing inventory accessible to all income levels continues to be a challenge in communities throughout Washington state. The CHIP grant program supports both rental and home ownership opportunities.?
The CHIP program has funded 54 projects with $41 million in 17 counties over the last year, supporting the development of 4,700 units of affordable housing. By paying for the costs of connecting new projects to utilities, the CHIP program strengthens communities' ability to expedite development of much-needed new affordable housing units.
