Mercy Housing Northwest has collaborated with Urban Impact to develop a beautiful four-story, mixed-use project called Emerald City Commons Apartments. Many of the residential units are designed to accommodate families as well as our community room that opens to our landscaped outdoor balcony that includes a play area. The three (3) bedroom apartment homes feature washer & dryer hook-ups, while the one (1) and two (2) bedroom apartment homes will be served by two common laundry areas. Mercy Housing and Urban Impact have dedicated staff to support tutoring, health education, adult literacy, employment assistance, and other programming for residents. On the ground floor, Rainier Health and Fitness facility allows the existing 1,200-member service to grow, providing affordable fitness programs for neighbors and residents. The space features a separate 1,700-square-foot group classroom that can be separated with a movable wall to provide more privacy for gym members.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
