Bringing Home a Better Future
SEATTLE HOUSING AUTHORITY 
 
is wearing out, and now it is time to replace it. Our goal is to build healthier, sturdier and more functional housing for its current residents that will endure for at least another 70 yearsand serve low-income residents into the future.Providing enduring low-income housing drives our work here. But beyond our housing goals,many opportunities for strengthening the community present themselves. Working with theCity of Seattle, nonprot partners and private businesses, we envision the new Yesler erraceas a mixed-income, mixed-use neighborhood that will be a diverse and exciting communitywhere people across the income spectrum come to live, learn, work and play.Yesler errace’s 30-acre site, situated as it is at the edge of downtown, invites us as a progressive city to create a new neighborhood that replaces worn-out housing and also meetsbroader goals of enhanced opportunity, greater access to education, sustainability and livability.Here at the Seattle Housing Authority, we will maintain our focus on creating great low-income housing at Yesler errace. We invite others to partner with us to meet thesebroader goals and help to create a truly great urban neighborhood in the heart of Seattle.Tis development plan lays out a broad framework for therenewal of housing and the enhancement of the Yesler errace community over the next 10 to 20 years.Our mission at Yesler errace – and throughout Seattle – is to provide the healthiest, most well-built housing possible for low-income residents. We have maintained the 70-year old housing at Yesler errace well, and we are immensely proud of the richtradition of inclusion and opportunity that this community hasoered those who have lived here.
