The City is creating a Housing Action Plan to make sure a variety of housing is available and affordable for people of all incomes in Lynnwood. The Plan will address current and future housing needs. When complete in early 2021, Lynnwood’s Housing Action Plan will be a comprehensive tool that helps the City implement housing policies, programs, and strategies.
Lynnwood’s Housing Action Plan is:
An actionable policy document that outlines how to meet all of Lynnwood’s housing needs.
Based on data and analysis vetted and grounded through an inclusive and robust public process.
A comprehensive approach to leverage resources and implement cohesive, effective, and feasible housing strategies tailored to the Lynnwood community.
Tailored to the housing needs of the Lynnwood community to ensure decent, safe, and affordable housing for all.
Get Involved!
Lynnwood’s community includes a wide range of residents and households with unique needs and challenges. The City wants to hear from the community to develop the HAP so that the housing strategies reflect all residents and are based on community members’ knowledge of Lynnwood’s strengths and challenges.
The Housing Action Plan will be shaped by prior planning efforts, data, analysis, and an inclusive public process. In response to public health considerations for COVID-19, in-person community engagement will be postponed until further notice. However, there are other ways to get involved:
Share your housing story! Help kick off the project by telling us about your experience living or working in Lynnwood. Your input will help us develop a Plan grounded in first-hand stories from the community it will serve.
