MacKenzie Scott Gifts $10M to Homestead Community Land Trust

Philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has gifted $10 million in unrestricted giving to Homestead Community Land Trust, a Seattle developer and steward of permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for income-qualified people in King County.

Homestead has celebrated several recent milestones, including the opening of Village Gardens in the Central District of Seattle, the groundbreaking of The Southard, the first multi-unit affordable homeownership project in Tukwila, and cultivating a pipeline of projects to build up to 200 new homes.

Homestead CEO Kathleen Hosfeld says, “We are beyond grateful for this unprecedented investment in our work, and for Ms. Scott’s recognition of our leadership in addressing the affordable housing crisis, building community wealth and partnering with communities experiencing displacement. This gift will enable us to accelerate our work to build homes that are permanently affordable to current and future generations.”

Home prices in the area are up to seven times the median household income, according to State of Washington research.
