Housing Accelerator Action Team

Residents in the Purple Line Corridor experience higher rates of cost burden and faster increases in housing costs than the region at large. The PLCC's Housing Accelerator Action Team is working to ensure there is no net loss of 17,000 homes that are affordable to households earning $72,000 or less in the Purple Line corridor.

The PLCC 2023-2027 Housing Action Plan sets an ambitious agenda for PLCC partners in ensuring housing choice for all residents of the corridor. The plan’s seven recommendations were built on input from counties’ staff and elected leaders, community organizations, developers, and civic and faith-based organizations.

The strategies in the plan are:

→  Accelerate the creation and preservation of affordable homes

→  Grow affordable housing funding resources for the Purple Line corridor

→  Deepen commitment to tenant protections

→  Increase community power and voice

→  Expand opportunities for more Purple Line residents, particularly people of color, to become homeowners

→  Increase resources for existing Purple Line residents to stay homeowners

→   Increase housing affordability and committed affordable homes through land use and zoning changes
