Lake City Court
Seattle, WA 98125
In Northeast Seattle, 16 townhouse units became uninhabitable due to persistent flooding from the nearby Little Brook Creek. These units were demolished in 2002. While some saw a calamity, others saw an opportunity. Seattle Housing Authority developed the site into Lake City Court, an 86-unit HOPE VI redevelopment. The mixed-income project consists of 51 public housing units and 35 additional low-income units. Common Ground helped Seattle Housing Authority access a wide range of diverse funding sources including HUD HOPE VI funds, City of Seattle funds, federal stimulus funding, LIHTC, a WCRA loan and Renewable Energy Tax Credits. Common Ground was also instrumental in devising a financing structure with the investor and lenders that allowed the Housing Authority to get the most out of available resources.
