I am often asked by legislators, public officials, and members of the public if we are producing any affordable housing that is built green or built to sustainable standards? Others inquire if the affordable housing we are financing in Washington is well designed and well built?

In this issue of My View I answer those questions by providing a view into the many award-winning affordable housing properties that have been completed in our state. Overall, we received 29 qualifying nominations for award-winning affordable housing properties developed with federal, state, or local funding assistance. While I feature six very different properties from around the state as highlighted examples, another 23 of these properties are recognized through shorter summaries. I wish I had the space to feature them all. I hope you are as proud of these examples of the high-quality, energy-efficient, affordable housing we develop in Washington as I am.
