Formalized in 2019, SKHHP is the first-ever affordable housing collaborative of local governments in the South King County subregion. SKHHP’s mission is to increase housing stability in South King County by producing and preserving affordable housing by working together and sharing resources across the jurisdictions through a coordinated and comprehensive approach.
As part of SKHHP’s commitment to ensuring community voices lead their work, SKHHP is creating an Advisory Board which will inform and influence SKHHP Executive Board decisions by providing recommendations that advance the broader interests of the communities they represent.

Advisory Board members must have personal and/or professional expertise, and affiliation with agencies, coalitions, organizations, or networks from/or serving low-income households, immigrant and refugee populations, people living with disabilities and/or behavioral health needs, or people experiencing homelessness including aging adults/seniors, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, multigenerational households, people with a criminal history, veterans, and youth.
Recruitment is now open! The priority deadline for applications is June 30. Please visit the SKHHP website or join the information session for more information:
