LIHI Opens 86-Unit Good Shepherd House Housing in Seattle

The Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) hosted the grand opening for Good Shepherd House, a partnership between LIHI and the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd.

Located at 1415 22nd Avenue in Seattle’s Central Area, the seven-story, 86-unit building has 84 studio apartments, a live-in staff unit, and a three-bedroom apartment to be occupied by the church.

Good Shepherd House is the first to make use of Seattle’s new Affordable Housing Ordinance on Religious Organization Land that provides development bonuses for affordable housing on property owned by religious organizations. LIHI has a 99-year lease on the land from the church.

Good Shepherd House received $8.3 million in capital funds from the Seattle Office of Housing. Funding from HUD and the City’s JumpStart revenue is providing operating support. Other funders include Enterprise, Heritage Bank, State Housing Trust Fund, Washington State Housing Finance Commission, and Wyncote Foundation NW. The project team included Walsh Construction as the general contractor and Runberg Architecture Group.
