Tacoma's Roadmap to Recovery | Seattle News

Tacoma’s in a financial crunch with a $40 million shortfall, and Mayor Ibsen’s “Roadmap to Recovery” aims to fix it—while tackling a growing homelessness crisis that’s straining city resources. With most Pierce County shelter beds and services centered in Tacoma, the mayor’s pushing for regional collaboration to streamline efforts and tackle root causes. A key move? A 12-year tax break for new multi-family housing to boost supply and make homeownership more attainable—especially for first-time buyers, whose average age is now 40. Tacoma’s already ahead on zoning reforms to allow more housing types, and the mayor’s rallying the city’s tools to help people finally own a home.
