The National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) honored the Seattle Housing Authority with six Awards of Merit. NAHRO’s awards were given in the Administrative Innovation category, which recognizes programs that improve the efficiency or effectiveness of administrative operations or the general functioning of the agency/organization and creates a resource bank of information performed by housing and redevelopment agencies and community development departments.
The Seattle Housing Authority has completed Sawara, its sixth new residential building at Yesler, a neighborhood near downtown Seattle that is being redeveloped by SHA into a vibrant, new mixed-income community. The building name honors Japanese culture in the neighborhood and can refer to a cypress tree or a type of fish.
The Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) is seeking proposals from qualified organizations who will partner in the Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) Reintegration Housing Program (RHP) to work with justice-involved individuals (JIIs) and their families in facilitating housing and social services access, in the City of Seattle.
