Tacoma plan aims to boost affordability and diversity of housing
The goal of Home in Tacoma is to increase the variety of types of homes available, through rezoning and other measures. Author: Lionel Donovan (KING) Updated: 6:29 PM PDT April 7, 2021
TACOMA, Wash. Tacoma is working on a new plan that could make buying a home more affordable. First-time homebuyers have struggled to buy homes in the city due to skyrocketing prices and lower supply.
But city leaders hope the Home in Tacoma project can begin to reverse that trend.
Currently, most of Tacoma’s residential areas are zoned for single-family units, but the project aims to rezone these areas to allow multiple family units, such as duplexes or townhouses, to be built in these areas as well.
