We are working to meet the needs of our region's residents while preserving our natural environment.

All projects receiving funding from the Washington State Housing Trust Fund must meet the "Evergreen" standard, the new statewide green building requirements, beginning in Fall 2008.

Evergreen Sustainable Development Criteria




Making it easy to be green...

Our goal is to create livable cities that are green and affordable.

The natural beauty of our region is unquestionable. We support Smart Growth principals that preserve our natural environment, while: (a) increasing density in urban cores, (b) maintaining open space, (c) revitalizing dilapidated areas, and (d) utilizing innovative land use policies. AHC partners with local municipalities and environmental organizations to ensure low- and moderate-income earners have access to high quality affordable homes.
