SSHA3P Housing Capital Fund Notice of Funding Availability Released on April 25

Pierce County released the South Sound Housing Affordability Partners’ (SSHA³P) Housing Capital Fund Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) on April 25, 2024. The NOFA is able to fund affordable housing development and preservation projects for households earning at or below 60% of the area median income (AMI), and affordable homeownership housing development for households earning at or below 80% of the AMI.

The new SSHA³P Housing Capital Fund is the first of its kind in Pierce County and was created to invest local funds to develop and preserve affordable homes for low and very low-income individuals and families. “[This] fund is both a recognition of the extraordinary need for affordable housing across our Pierce County communities and the need for regional commitment and collaboration,” said Tracie Markley, City of Gig Harbor Mayor and Chair of the SSHA³P Executive Board. “I am excited to see how this funding opportunity will bring this affordable housing to fruition.” The 2024 SSHA³P Housing Capital Fund NOFA totals $527,400 and includes contributions from the cities of Auburn, Sumner, and Fife, as well as Pierce County.
