On page 22, after line 13 of the striking amendment, insert the following:

"(9) For any subarea of a jurisdiction required by this chapter to allow for development of four or more units on a property or 33 units per acre, the jurisdiction shall adopt an antidisplacement program plan in collaboration with a  community preservation and development authority established pursuant to chapter 43.167 RCW with a direct interest in the subarea if one exists, to prevent displacement of very low, low, and moderate-income households and communities of color that have traditionally been disparately impacted by planning and zoning policies and practices. The plan must be developed with community engagement, including through the use of grants distributed from the department to community-based organizations pursuant to chapter . . . (Substitute House Bill 1981), Laws of 2022. These plans must include specific provisions regarding how the jurisdiction will: preserve identifiable existing communities and their historical and cultural character; enable very low, low, and moderate-income households and communities of color to maintain place-based community connections and remain in the subarea of the jurisdictions; and provide for new affordable housing to meet the needs of current and new residents."

EFFECT:   Requires a jurisdiction to adopt an antidisplacement program plan for any subarea within the jurisdiction required to allow additional housing units, and in collaboration with a community preservation and development authority, to prevent displacement of very low, low, and moderate-income households of various income levels and communities of color that have faced disparate impacts from planning and zoning policies and practice. Requires the antidisplacement plans to include specific provisions regarding how the jurisdiction will enable very low, low, and moderate-income households and communities of color to remain in the subarea, preserve historical and cultural character, and provide for new affordable housing to meet the needs of residents.
