On February 18, from 1 – 3 p.m., the City of Tacoma will host a virtual technical assistance workshop on how to apply for local affordable housing development funding. Organizations new to the application process are encouraged to attend.
While the virtual workshop will offer a broad overview of the funding landscape, it will not offer specific details on 2026 funding availability. Those details will be shared in March with the City’s release of its 2026 Notice of Funding Availability.
After the City’s release of its 2026 Notice of Funding Availability, City staff will be limited in the assistance they can provide regarding applications. The virtual workshop offers a window for open dialogue, detailed hands-on guidance, and specific questions before those restrictions take effect. Participants can expect:
- An overview of the City’s affordable housing development funding process
- A review of required documentation
- Direct access to City subject matter experts who can field questions before the formal application window opens
Participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance of the virtual workshop. Questions can be emailed — along with organization name, title or role, and phone number — to Tammi Garofalo at tgarofalo@tacoma.gov before 4 p.m. on February 12.
The virtual workshop will not be recorded. For those unable to attend, a Q&A document will be posted on the City’s website within the following two weeks.
No registration is required. Access details are available at makeittacoma.com/events.
