25
Value Capture Financing
Goal: Provide financing for infrastructure, affordable
housing, and other public benefits in transit
communities
Challenges:
• Traditional TIF is not feasible in WA
• TIF-like tools do not capture value created by new
development
• All tools rely on forces that could cause displacement
New Tool:
• Functions like special assessment district
• Targeted to transit communities
• Directs 25% of revenues to housing and rural land

26
Surplus Public Properties
Goal: Remove legal barriers that keep public entities
from prioritizing affordable housing when disposing of
property
Challenges:
• Federal (FTA)
• State law interpretation
• Transit agency land disposition policy
GTC Efforts:
• Comment on FTA Joint Development
• State legislation – enable public agencies to discount
sale of land
• Partnership/Education – collaboration between
affordable housing groups and transit agencies

What’s the need?
What are the available resources to capitalize a fund?
What are realistic assumptions for future resources available to repay loans?
Regional Equitable Development Initiative (REDI) Fund
Evaluate the feasibility and need of a Regional TOD Fund to help acquire properties for future affordable housing and community facilities near transit areas in the Puget Sound region; prepare a business plan to advance the creation of such a Fund.
