The City of Burien is updating our housing regulations to better address housing types for those who are experiencing or are at risk of experiencing homelessness.
A number of these facilities already exist in the city, and some have been here for decades. Due to recent changes in state law, the city is required to update the Burien Municipal Code to expand housing types and ensure there is adequate capacity to accommodate the City’s share of need by 2044.
“STEP” housing stands for emergency shelters, transitional housing, emergency housing, and permanent supportive housing.
