Affordable Housing Week

Tacoma Habitat is proud to participate in Pierce County’s 2nd Annual Affordable Housing Week event series. Join us, along with our partners at Tacoma-Pierce County Affordable Housing Consortium, for an array of in-person and virtual events, May 6 through 10. Together, we will engage in meaningful conversations, celebrate achievements, confront challenges head-on, and foster a collective shift in perspective, bolstering economic stability, and ensuring equitable opportunities for all residents. Affordable Housing Week can become a catalyst for positive transformation in our communities, guiding us towards a future where everyone can afford to call Pierce County home.
