Housing Hope to build affordable housing near Edmonds church
EDMONDS — Housing Hope, a nonprofit and affordable housing developer, intends to build 52 apartments on a lot next to Edmonds Lutheran Church. Construction is to start this year.
“This is really executing on our plan to at least compete for and try to start a new project every year,” Housing Hope CEO Fred Safstrom said. “… It’s going to be a very attractive, nice project.”
The Edmonds Lutheran Church is selling the land to Housing Hope. Currently an empty lot, the site is close to Highway 99 and public transit. Pastor Tim Oleson said the congregation has wanted to develop it into affordable housing for at least the past 20 years.
“The congregation is delighted,” Oleson said. “They’re delighted and ecstatic to see a longtime dream of theirs coming to fruition.”
