$30M affordable housing project to start construction soon in Edmonds

EDMONDS — Within a year, 52 families will have a home at Housing Hope’s Madrona Highlands apartments.

Work on the three-story, 52-unit building for homeless families and those in poverty got a ceremonial start Tuesday. People behind the project — board members, donors, elected officials, staff — dumped small scoops of dirt onto the grassy field next to Edmonds Lutheran Church at 23525 84th Ave. W.

The site is the first in south Snohomish County for Housing Hope, an Everett-based affordable housing developer and homelessness recovery service provider. Madrona Highlands, the name of the site, has a $30 million budget.

“This has been a huge, long, long journey for our community,” Edmonds Lutheran Church pastor Tim Oleson said.
