Housing Truths for Our Community
For the last 10 years, the number of new Snohomish County households exceeds the number of new homes built by about 25%. There are not enough places for people who live here.
31% of all households in our county pay more than 30% of their income to housing. These include fully employed workers in manual and semi-skilled labor positions that are essential to our everyday lives.
30% of low-income households (about 30,000) in Snohomish County pay more than 50% of their income to housing, leading many to sacrifice on food and health care.
Stable, safe housing allows individuals and families to take needed steps to improve their lives and income prospects.
