The City is coordinating with various partners to support the development and occupancy of two permanent supportive housing projects. The Redmond Health Through Housing project is owned by King County and operated by The Salvation Army in Overlake. This project has been officially named Haven Heights. In February, Council authorized the Mayor to transfer publicly owned property to Plymouth Housing for development of a 100-unit Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) project in downtown Redmond. Updates regarding the status of these two projects are included in Attachment A.
OUTCOMES:
Increasing options for affordable housing is a top priority for the City. King County Countywide Planning Policies have established housing targets for cities to accommodate anticipated future growth in the next 20 years. The housing needed for Redmond has been estimated across all income levels and includes anticipated demand for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). These projects will help Redmond fulfil its housing goals.
