Story: Microsoft Pledges $500M for Affordable Housing
/From Vernal Coleman and Mike Rosenberg at the Seattle Times on January 16, 2019:
Redmond, Wa. tech giant Microsoft is responding to the region’s widening affordability gap with a $500 million pledge to address homelessness and develop affordable housing across the Puget Sound region. Most of the money will be aimed at increasing housing options for low- and middle-income workers at a time when they’re being priced out of Seattle and parts of the Eastside, and when the vast majority of new buildings target wealthier renters.
