Spokane County affordable housing proving unaffordable for providers

(The Center Square) – With providers unable to pay their bills under current insurance rates and increased costs, Spokane County is considering forgiving almost $2.3 million in affordable housing debts.

The Spokane County Board of County Commissioners discussed writing off the unpaid debt and reducing the interest rates on other loans to 0% during Tuesday’s briefing session. However, the county is also considering whether to allow the providers to continue despite the lack the payments.
