Should your local government prioritize funding new affordable housing specifically for older adults?
Housing Hope has broken ground on a new 67-unit affordable housing community for older adults in Everett. The project, located at 2624 Rockefeller Avenue, is designed to support residents aged 55 and older.
Why it matters
The development aims to combat housing instability and homelessness among the aging population. This initiative expands local affordable housing options by leveraging land sold at a discount by the Everett United Church of Christ.
The $39.4 million project includes 67 units for seniors aged 55 and older, supported by $3.9 million in state and $1.1 million in federal funding. The facility is expected to serve households at 30% or 50% of the area median income.
The players
Housing Hope
A nonprofit that manages 600 affordable housing units across 24 sites in Snohomish County.
HumanGood Affordable Housing
A collaborative partner specializing in the development of housing communities for older adults.
Everett United Church of Christ
A local religious institution that facilitated the project by selling its land at a discount.
The details
Housing Hope is partnering with HumanGood Affordable Housing to construct the site at 2624 Rockefeller Avenue. The project relies on a land sale from the Everett United Church of Christ and anticipated support from federal tax credits, the city of Everett, and Snohomish County to cover remaining costs. Once completed, the development will add to the 600 units already managed by Housing Hope across 24 sites.
Timeline
Ground was broken on the site on October 26, 2026.
The project cost is estimated at $39.4 million based on 2025 figures.
Completion of the housing community is expected in 2028.
The Home Front
This project reflects a broader trend of utilizing land-use partnerships between nonprofits and religious institutions to expand senior housing inventory. It marks a significant effort to address localized housing instability for older adults through tiered income-based unit availability.
Families interested in future housing options should monitor updates from Housing Hope regarding eligibility and the anticipated 2028 move-in timeline. Because the units are income-restricted, it is helpful to keep current household income documentation accessible for future applications.
The takeaway
This development represents a major expansion of senior-focused affordable housing within Everett. Interested households should look for future announcements from the nonprofit to identify when the application process opens for the units scheduled for completion in 2028.
