Bellevue Seeks Community Feedback On Affordable Housing Plans

BELLEVUE, WA — The Bellevue City Council will host a community conversation this week, looking to hear directly from residents as officials craft the city's affordable housing strategy. According to city officials, Bellevue's goal is to construct 2,500 affordable housing units over the next decade.

Last December, the council approved its comprehensive housing plan, simplifying the process to build affordable homes on publicly owned land and parcels owned by faith organizations or non-profits. Now, the city is drafting its updated land-use code.

Residents are invited to participate in a virtual conversation with city staff Wednesday evening.

Here's how to participate:

• Date: Wednesday, March 17th.
• Time: 6:00 – 7:30 p.m.
• Register to participate via Eventbrite.

Those who cannot attend the meeting can submit feedback, ask questions, or register for updates using a simple web form.
