Grant requirements

Middle Housing grants are available to cities and counties that are subject to the requirements of HB 1110 (2023) during their next periodic review update cycle (2024-2027) under the Growth Management Act.

Cities and counties not subject to HB 1110 may also apply for activities related to implementing middle housing. However, priority for grant funding is reserved for communities required to implement HB 1110.

Maximum grant amounts are between $35,000 and $75,000, and dependent on population and whether the community received funding from the 2021-23 Middle Housing Grant program.?
