COMMITTEE ON HOMELESSNESS ADVOCATES FOR INCREASED HOUSING DENSITY IN LIGHT OF UPCOMING SUPREME COURT CASE

AIA Seattle believes everyone has a fundamental human right to housing, and that livable cities require increased density, enhanced mobility, alternative forms of housing and funding for affordable and subsidized housing of all types.

AIA Seattle’s Committee on Homelessness (COHO) advocated for adding housing capacity, speeding up housing production and lessening code requirements in a letter addressing the City’s recent position put forward in the Amicus Curiae brief to the Supreme Court of the United States in support of the Petitioner, City of Grants Pass. AIA Seattle implores the City to adopt a comprehensive plan, policies, and regulations to increase availability of all types of housing.
