About the Commission
The Washington State Housing Finance Commission is a self-sustaining public agency committed to increasing housing access and affordability for the people of Washington while aligning our work with anti-racist values. We commit to engaging the voices and ideas of those who have been historically silenced and marginalized. Consistent with these commitments, the Commission’s Mission, Vision, and Values reflect who we are and how we approach our work.
MISSION
We work to provide equitable access to capital through strong partnerships and innovative financing to create and sustain affordable rental housing, homeownership, and community spaces across Washington State.
VISION
We envision a just future in which all Washingtonians have affordable, sustainable housing in thriving communities, and in which those representing and served by the Commission experience fair, inclusive practices in all aspects of our work.
VALUES
Sound Fiscal Stewardship
We commit to responsible investments in housing and community assets that prioritize racial equity and consider long-term sustainability.

Acknowledging and Addressing Power and Privilege

Respect and Humility
We acknowledge our blind spots and biases and commit to learning alongside our partners, each other, and the communities we serve.
