Covenant Homeownership Program
In 2023, thanks to the advocacy and leadership of the Housing Development Consortium, the Black Home Initiative, Rep. Jamila Taylor, Sen. John Lovick, and Rep. Frank Chopp, the Washington State Legislature passed the Covenant Homeownership Act. The act created a new program and funding source to help people become homeowners who have been impacted by state-sanctioned racial discrimination in housing. In 2025, the state Legislature amended the act through H.B. 1696, increasing the eligible homebuyer income limit and allowing for loan forgiveness for some program participants.
