White Center Affordable Housing Development Opens in Seattle
Community Roots Housing and the White Center Community Development Association announced the official opening of Canopy Apartments and the White Center HUB, an affordable housing and community services campus done in partnership with local residents.
Located at 10821 8th Ave SW, the development delivers 76 new affordable homes, including 59 apartments with two to four bedrooms, serving households earning between 30% and 60% of the area median income. Twenty-four of the homes are set aside for large families of four or more people. Adjacent to the housing, the two-story White Center HUB will offer health, youth, food, and family services.
Leasing activity for the building has been exceptionally strong. Applications opened in October 2025, and as of January, 84% of the apartments are occupied with applications or leasing pending on 9 of the 12 remaining units. Community Roots delivered 311 new affordable apartments and broke ground on an additional 84 new units in 2025.
