Housing

Working together to address the priorities that matter most to them and their neighbors, The ZONE Resident Steering Committee has chosen housing as a priority for the past two years. This addresses both housing stability and creating more affordable housing.

Building More Affordable Housing

Many households host extended family and friends in single-family homes. Adding accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and smaller multi-family options could help reduce overcrowding and keep families close.

Homeowners:

• 62% are interested in adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) for income or to expand neighborhood housing options.

Renters:

• 76% want to buy a home in Northeast Spokane.

• 95% would buy a home if they had Down Payment Assistance.

• Renters often have more people and more children in fewer bedrooms than homeowners.
