Community Development
Housing, Homelessness and Community Development Division
What We Do
The Community Development program funds:
- Sidewalks
- Community and recreation facilities
- Child care and early learning facilities
- Sewer and water main projects
- ADA improvements
- Microenterprise assistance
- Park improvements
- Minor home repair programs
- Affordable family or youth housing
We make these investments in our communities through several different fund sources such as

- Puget Sound Taxpayers Accountability Account (PSTAA) and
- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds that come from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
For information on BSK and PSTAA funding that can help with facilities that provide early learning and other child support services in King County, please visit the BSK and/or the PSTAA Sites.
