The Low Income Housing Institute and Refugee Women's Alliance MLK mixed-use project, at 7544 Martin Luther King Jr. Way S., has been awarded $1 million in federal funding after the House of Representatives passed the government spending package on March 9. The seven-story building will provide 148 affordable apartments for low-income and homeless families and an early learning center and play area operated by the Refugee Women's Alliance. Immigrant and refugee families will have access to bilingual and bicultural services and child care facilities at the approximately 10,000 square-foot early learning center. The transit orientated project is located just south of Othello Station but does include 20 parking stalls. Some apartments will be set-aside for young adults aging out of foster care.
