SEATTLE—September
10, 2003—With
the recent acquisition of Wisteria Court on 24th Ave. W.
in West Seattle, the goal of one-for-one replacement
housing has been reached for the Roxbury redevelopment in
West Seattle. Now known as Westwood Heights, the
development formerly included 150 apartments at Roxbury
House and 60 apartments at Roxbury Village. Westwood
Heights now contains just 130 apartments, because fewer
are studios. Roxbury Village was replaced with town houses
built by the Lutheran Alliance to Create Housing (LATCH).
Most of the additional replacement units are located in
West Seattle. For details and pictures,

SEATTLE—November
19, 2002—SHA's
inventory of affordable housing is growing by 37 units,
all of them large family houses or apartments in Seattle's Central
District. In addition to preserving this affordable housing, the
acquisition also helps to fulfill replacement housing goals for Holly Park,
Lake City Village and Yesler Terrace. The units will be financed
with bonds issued by the housing authority. Some units
will also receive on-going subsidy through the use of
Housing Choice vouchers assigned to specific units. To

With
the recent purchase of nine townhouses at 250 SW Roxbury
St., the housing authority has completed 155 units (73
percent) of the replacement housing for the Roxbury HOPE
VI project. These nine two-bedroom apartments have been
added to SHA's portfolio of locally-owned low-income
housing, and will be available to low-income residents
with incomes less than 30 percent of median income.
