Who We Are

Since 1988, we’ve worked to make it easier to create and preserve affordable housing across King County and Washington State.

As an association of over 215 member organizations, HDC serves, convenes, and advocates on behalf of mission-driven organizations and businesses that comprise our membership, weaving a powerful network across sectors and industries that responds to the diverse needs of our community—from homelessness prevention to affordable homeownership.

Nationally recognized as a leader in affordable housing advocacy, we believe that large-scale social change—the kind needed to address our most urgent regional challenges—comes from effective sector-wide coordination rather than from the isolated efforts of individual organizations. HDC is a movement, and the future we aim to build, one wherein all people can live with dignity in safe, healthy, and affordable homes across King County, is only possible through organizations, government agencies, and businesses coming together around shared values and a commitment to the community.
