Affordable Family Housing in South Seattle

Elizabeth Thomas Homes | Seattle, WA

Located in the Rainier Beach Neighborhood, the Elizabeth Thomas Homes preserve affordable housing for working families at risk of displacement from Seattle. They provide much-needed 2- and 3-bedroom units as well as smaller units for households earning 50-80% of area median income. Community-oriented service providers and businesses occupy ground-floor retail spaces. Located adjacent to the Rainier Beach light rail station, residents are connected to their neighborhood and greater Seattle. The colorful ground-floor plaza hosts family gatherings and play space. Lush plantings and paving design along the street activate the property and integrate it into the larger Henderson Street character.
