Lacey is in the midst of an affordable housing crisis, and the City is not alone. Thurston County has an estimated 14,000 households that are currently cost burdened in their rental unit and an additional 19,000 households that are cost burdened as owners. Many factors influence housing affordability such as employment, wages, unintended social issues, and internal/external market factors.

Our Affordable Housing Strategy document expands on the factors listed above that influence the housing dilemma and identifies strategies we can take to reduce the effects of the housing affordability issue.
