Office of Housing Awards $95M to Affordable Housing Project
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan and the Office of Housing recently announced a $95 million investment in affordable housing. Nearly $10 million of that investment was awarded to Community Roots Housing’s Workforce Development Center project in partnership with YouthCare, a nonprofit serving youth and young adults experiencing homelessness.
“We are very grateful for this strong investment in our incredible young people,” said Colleen Echohawk, YouthCare’s interim CEO. “Our visionary project will offer young adults experiencing homelessness a robust education, job training and connections alongside safe and supportive affordable housing. This foundation of stability and opportunity will help break the cycle of homelessness for generations.”
The project will be developed on the southeast corner of Broadway and East Pine on Capitol Hill. The building will feature three floors devoted to a new YouthCare education and employment resource hub, in addition to more than 80 new affordable apartments including units set aside for homeless youth.
