Lakewood, WA — Today, Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) announced $850,000 in federal funding to the Tacoma Housing Authority for subsidized housing renovations.
“The South Sound is one of the nation’s fastest growing regions – and residents are feeling the housing crunch,” said Strickland. “I am proud to secure federal funding that provides families with comfortable, affordable housing, and rates the cost effective approach of renovating existing housing.”
“We are grateful to Congresswoman Strickland for working to secure $850k in federal funding for the rehabilitation of housing units in Salishan and Hillside Terrace. This project will modernize essential systems and preserve deeply affordable homes for hundreds of families in our community. Her continued partnership and support help ensure that low-income Tacomans can live and thrive in high-quality, stable housing for years to come,” said April Black, Tacoma Housing Authority Executive Director.
The funding is being used to support the Tacoma Housing Authority’s Salishan-Hillside Phase I. This is rehabilitating housing by modernizing core systems such as HVAC, electrical, and plumbing to improve energy efficiency, as well as update key interior and exterior finishes to enhance durability.
This award is one of the FY26 Community Project Funding (CPF) grants Congresswoman Strickland secured. Read more about these projects here.
