| Work Detail |
US$25M funding has been announced for the construction, preservation, and acquisition of eight affordable homes in King County. This announcement was made by Dow Constantine, the executive of King County. The funds will come from the Housing Finance Program (HFP) of King County, which is a division of the Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS).
The homes in question are Angle Lake Family Housing, Burien II, Spring District, and Ardea at Totem Lake. The others are Sno-Valley Senior Apartments, Northgate, 5th Avenue, and Pacific Apartments Rehab.
Developed by Mercy Housing Northwest in SeaTac adjacent to the light rail, the Angle Lake Family Housing development will feature 130 affordable housing apartments. The project will reserve 26 apartments for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. This will be done in collaboration with The Arc of King County, a group dedicated to defending the rights of people with disabilities.
Burien II is developed by Habitat in Burien. Consisting of 20 units, this development is the second phase of a brand-new, 40-unit affordable housing development spread across nine structures with on-site parking. In addition, the project includes a planned Rapid Ride line and numerous bus routes that are all within a mile of one another. |
