In 2022 SEED developed a new strategic plan that aligns with our values, centers community, and will be adaptable as new challenges arise over the next five years. With a continued focus on affordable housing, arts, and economic development, we’re unwavering in our commitment to Southeast Seattle.
The strategic plan is organized around these five interconnected priorities:
Center Community — Center residents, economically vulnerable neighbors, and creatives in community with SEED
Increase Project Pipeline — Increase affordable rental housing, commercial space, and cultural facilities, helping curb displacement of BIPOC communities
Invest in Creative Economy — Invest in the creative economy in collaboration with BIPOC artists and partners
Build up Financial Health — Create financial strength that translates SEED values into staff and organizational health
Innovate Models and Share Success — Innovate models for community impact in place-based housing, arts, and economic development
