The project is called ?ál?al, which means “home” in Lushootseed. The location has significance for indigenous peoples being the former site of a Coast Salish longhouse village.

Work is now complete on Chief Seattle Club's first permanent supportive housing development, ?ál?al, at 108 Second Ave. Ext.S. The eight-story development has 80 studio units to be occupied by Indigenous people who were formerly homeless, veterans and the poor. Chief Seattle Club was founded in 1970 as a non-profit to combat homelessness among Seattle's Indigenous people, who make up a disproportionate number of homeless in the area. The newly completed development is the only housing project in the city geared toward low-income and chronically homeless Indigenous people.
