Examples of Housing and Projects from ARCH Member Cities.   Many of the projects and programs listed below are linked to an information page providing pictures of housing assisted by ARCH member cities through the Trust Fund and local housing programs, and a description of the partnerships and funding that were required to make the project a reality.  
Family Rental Housing  Affordable rental housing generally serves households earning less than 80% of the area median income.  Over 1,200 affordable rental units on the Eastside have been assisted by the ARCH Housing Trust Fund.

"I never thought quality rental senior housing was possible on my low income.  My deepest gratitude to the Shelter Resources Inc. and ARCH members for making this happen."  Riverside Landing resident

Ownership Housing  Some ownership projects, such as Habitat and Avon Villa manufactured home community, are assisted through the Housing Trust Fund.  Most projects provide affordability in exchange for land use incentives and fee waivers offered to the builder.  There are over 115 price-restricted ownership units with long term affordability administered for member cities by ARCH.  Most of these units are attached homes and condominiums.  Some affordable units are great examples of innovative design, such as duplex units at Lakeview Park in Kirkland, and cottages and small lot detached single family at Greenbrier in Woodinville.
