Addressing Mason County’s Housing Needs
Mason County is facing a shortage of 2,430 housing units over the next five years. To sustain our local businesses, keep families in the community, and provide housing for workers and students, we need solutions at all price points. A stable housing supply is essential for economic growth, vibrant neighborhoods, and a thriving community.
Housing is a complex issue that will take the community – from all vantage points – to come together to solve. The Mason County Housing Alliance serves as a resource for education, advocacy, and collaboration.
Together, we can build a stronger, housing-ready Mason County.
The Mason County Housing Alliance is a collaborative effort led by the Chamber Alliance of Mason County, bringing together municipalities, the business community, and nonprofit organizations. While the alliance is not a standalone entity, it is a dedicated coalition committed to advocating for and educating the community on housing needs.
Communities nationwide are facing housing shortages, and the housing alliance is working together to ensure that Mason County can respond to current housing needs and ready for growth and development. While not alone in this crisis, Mason County’s housing challenges are unique, shaped by a strong second-home market and a tourism-driven economy. However, the housing alliance is committed to taking action to be a housing-ready community.
