The Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle Partners with Capitol Hill EcoDistrict

SEATTLE (Sept. 25, 2023) – With a new focus on equity, the Capitol Hill EcoDistrict is partnering with the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle (Seattle, WA).

The Ecodistrict represents Seattle’s neighborhoods as the city seeks to grow and expand. It was first created about a decade ago under the name Capitol Hill Housing, where the focus was affordable housing. Now, it seeks to address social and environmental concerns.

In a statement announcing the partnership, EcoDistrict executive director Donna Moodie said, “This next phase of partnership with the Urban League is an opportunity for the EcoDistrict to co-create a future for equitable community development at scale.”

For the Urban League, this is an opportunity to advance its mission of equity for underserved communities.

In the announcement, the League stated, “EcoDistricts.org, the national organization advancing a new model of urban development that certified the Capitol Hill EcoDistrict in 2021, was recently acquired by the Partnership for Southern Equity, an Atlanta-based nonprofit that promotes racial equity and shared prosperity for all in the American South.”
