60 more units of affordable housing going up in Marysville
MARYSVILLE Housing Hope is building a low-income apartment complex that is expected to house 60 families. Construction began last week on phase two of the nonprofits Twin Lakes Landing development near Smokey Point.
We view housing as a necessary foundation for really assisting persons that are experiencing homelessness, Housing Hope CEO Fred Safstrom said. If they dont have a stable place to live, it is difficult to have the quality time you need with families to get to these problems or issues that are standing in their way.
Half the apartments at Twin Lakes Landing II, located west of Interstate 5 near 172nd Street NE, will house residents who were previously homeless. The other 30 apartments will house residents who earn less than half of the area median income. For a family of four in Snohomish County, that is $57,850.
Residents are expected to move into the apartments in November 2022. Leasing will begin around April, Safstrom said. Housing Hope will offer services to the families who were formerly homeless. The services are voluntary but, Safstrom said, most people choose to participate. Then a family support coach meets with residents to determine what kind of help they need.
