Microsoft Partnership: Stretching Our Resources

While exploring bond recycling, we forged a productive collaboration with Washington’s own Microsoft Corporation that both filled a critical need for bridge financing and helped the company deploy its capital for affordable workforce housing. Microsoft is also joining the Housing Finance Commission and other corporate partners in innovative financing efforts to build still more housing in our state’s highest-cost, tightest housing markets.
