Modifying requirements and allowed uses for certain funding related to providing and maintaining affordable housing and related services.

Summary

The bill lets Washington counties and cities impose a sales or use tax of up to 0.1% to raise money for affordable housing, supportive services, and behavioral‑health facilities. At least 60% of the revenue must be spent on building, acquiring, rehabilitating, or operating such housing and related programs for low‑income residents, veterans, seniors, homeless people and other listed groups. It also sets rules for how the money can be shared with cities, financed through bonds, and limited to offsetting state or federal cuts.
