A brief description of the incentives or programs:
The UW partners with local lenders to offer location-efficient mortgages that translate commute savings into borrowing potential. The UW also has a faculty/staff housing program and is in the process of developing a new campus-adjacent workforce housing project.
University of Washington’s Housing and Food Services offers space for nearly 6,000 students on campus, as well as additional apartments directly off campus. Student government has an off-campus housing affairs office to assist students with finding a place to live in Seattle. According to the most recent U-PASS survey, nearly half of all students live in Northeast Seattle where the University of Washington is located. Twenty-six percent of employees live in the same area. On a broader scope, about 85 percent of all students, faculty and staff live in King County, where the University of Washington is located.
