The City of Seattle will make the largest award in the City’s history to invest $110 Million for 1,944 new affordable homes. This announcement continues the recent affordable housing funding the City has made over the last several years.
This is great news for the region as well as the group of sponsoring organizations that are leading the projects. Organizations like Mt. Baker Housing Association (MBHA) and the Seattle Chinatown International District Preservation and Development Authority (SCIDpda) are instrumental in developing and promoting access to housing for the community. To help them reach their development goals to create more local housing options, Aspect is currently providing environmental cleanup, regulatory negotiation, and public outreach support to MBHA and SCIDpda on several affordable housing projects in Seattle.
The ongoing Maddux development provides 150+ affordable housing units close to transit in the Mt. Baker neighborhood. The City of Seattle’s recent investment news will help create close to 2,000 affordable homes like this across the region.
Our work with MBHA includes three projects in the Mt. Baker and Rainier Beach neighborhoods. We’re also helping SCIDpda, along with Lake Union Partners and Capitol Hill Housing, on the 3-block Goodwill site in the International District.
