GROWING THE SUPPLY The preservation of affordable housing must be accompanied by increased production of new housing. KCHA does this through direct development and by supporting our non-profit partners with pre-development loans and project-based rental subsidies. KCHA is currently completing construction at Highland Village, where 36 new units are being added to this newly rehabilitated complex, and is in the design phase on the Trailhead, a 355-unit mixed income development adjacent to the planned light-rail station in Issaquah. KCHA is also supporting six new non-profit projects currently in development, adding to the 64 non-profit owned properties we already subsidize. Annually, KCHA provides $6.9 million in operating support for these partnerships. UPGRADING EXISTING HOUSING By investing in our existing affordable housing stock, we ensure that this invaluable community resource will be preserved for low-income households for years to come. In 2018, we invested more than $47 million in capital repairs and interior upgrades across our housing portfolio. In addition, our weatherization program, which serves both publicly and privately owned housing, assisted more than 600 low-income homeowners and renters in 2018, upgrading living conditions, improving indoor air quality, and reducing energy costs for these low-income households. 8 2018 ANNUAL REPORT Greenbridge.
