NewHolly Neighborhood Campus

The redevelopment of Holly Park (renamed NewHolly) was funded by public and private contributions and federal grants and became one of the first housing communities of its kind in the country.

Holly Park was built in the 1940s to house defense workers and veterans. In the 1950s, Holly Park was converted into public housing and has been managed by the Seattle Housing Authority ever since. In 1995, Seattle Housing began the ambitious project of deconstructing the aging Holly Park and some surrounding community buildings and replacing them with housing for a mix of incomes including market-rate housing.

The NewHolly Neighborhood Campus complements the housing community by providing essential community services. These include a learning center; a Seattle Public Library branch; classrooms for South Seattle Community College; Head Start; child care; youth, family, and teen programs; community-building activities and employment programs that help residents obtain and secure living-wage jobs.

Please visit the Directory of Services page on this Web site to learn more about the agencies and services provided at NewHolly.

Many Neighbors, Many Stories The hope of the Many Neighbors, Many Stories volunteers has been that we can learn more about each other through sharing our stories, our cultures and our dreams. This booklet gives an overview of some of these stories in the NewHolly neighborhood. Click here to download a PDF version of the Many Neighbors, Many Stories booklet.
