Manufactured housing, which 20 million Americans call home, is one of the few affordable housing options in the United States. The residents of two Washington State mobile home communities recently succeeded in purchasing their parks with help from ROC USA and over $2 million in financing from Rural LISC. As a result, they have been able to stabilize their housing costs, upgrade their communities and remain in the places they love.
In summer of 2004, University of Washington School of Medicine began renovating the already existing Brotman Building into a state-of-the-art biomedical research facility. That was the first step in their multi-phase development plan to build an impressive biomedical research campus in the South Lake Union area of Seattle.
Yakima YMCA Association is constructing a new $20 million, 72,000 sq. ft. YMCA facility in Yakima, Washington. The project will create living wage jobs and provide high quality programming to the city’s at-risk population. Yakima YMCA offers no-cost programs year-round for early childhood education and for drop-in youth that provide a safe, adult supervised space for social, recreational and academic support. The new facility will quadruple the number of individuals served by the YMCA and encourage more families to experience the YMCA as part of their everyday lives.
