Affordable Rental Housing means rental housing that is modest in terms of floor area and amenities, based on household needs and community norms, and is priced at or below average market housing rents or prices for comparable housing in a community or area, and is provided to individuals or families of Low and Moderate Income.

The  Columbia Basin Trust (CBT)  is the first partner on an Affordable Rental Housing initiative that will help facilitate the provision of affordable housing for low to moderate income households in the Columbia Basin region.
