The City's Community Housing and Human Services Department is seeking Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to distribute approximately $10 million to help address the housing crisis in Spokane.
The RFPs for housing and housing-related supportive services combines funding from the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the local Sales and Use Tax for Affordable and Supportive Housing, and the local and state Sales and Use Tax for Housing and Housing-Related Supportive Services.

"These critical funds can support the acquisition, rehabilitation or construction of affordable housing, maintenance and operations of new units, and behavioral health services," said CHHS Housing Manager George Dahl. "Everyone deserves access to affordable housing, regardless of income."
