Redmond, WA – Construction
is well underway on the Providence John Gabriel House, an affordable senior
housing project located at 8632 160th NE. Applications will be
available for prospective residents starting on October 31, 2016. Individuals must meet certain income and age
qualifications in order to submit an application for housing.
The
development will provide 74 affordable rental apartments for seniors aged 62
and over in Downtown Redmond. In
addition to the residential use, there will be 8,000 square feet on the first
floor for a PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly)
health and wellness center, also managed by Providence Health & Services
which will serve eligible residents of the community. “Providence John Gabriel
House will ensure that more seniors will have an affordable place to live near
medical, shopping and recreational facilities, as well as the Rapid Ride and
other transit lines,” said Mayor John Marchione.
The
building is five levels built over structured below-grade parking. The
residential portion will serve seniors with household incomes at or below 60%
of the Area Median Income (AMI). For a
one-person household, the maximum allowable income is currently $37,980, and
that maximum increases for larger households.
Providence
John Gabriel House is expected to open in March 2017. Applications for housing will be available
starting after 11:00 am on October 31, 2016 on the Providence Supportive Housing website at www.providencesupportivehousing.org. The general information
phone for Providence Supportive Housing is 855-360-5478 (TRS/TTY 711); e-mail
is SupportiveHousingInfo@providence.org.
The
project is made possible through financial support from the City of Redmond,
Providence Health & Services, the east King County jurisdictions that are
members of A Regional Coalition for Housing (ARCH), King County Department of
Community and Human Services, U.S. Bank and the Washington State Housing
Finance Commission.
