Spartanburg, South Carolina-based Johnson Development Associates sold Elara at the Market to SSHD for $60.9 million. Kidder Mathews arranged the sale.

In 2023, Seattle city residents voted on Initiative 135, a local citizen-led ballot measure that officially chartered SSHD. In 2025, city voters went to the polls again to pass Proposition 1A, approving a local city tax on high-earning corporations to fund the public development authority.

SSHD, on the other hand, serves a middle bracket of residents earning up to 120 percent of AMI, specifically designed to help workforce renters, such as teachers and service industry workers — those renters who earn too much to qualify for public housing but not enough to afford market-rate rents.
