Hopeworks Station North: Housing Hope
Case Study Summary:

HopeWorks Station North is an affordable multifamily housing, workforce development, and job training center located in the Everett Station District of Everett, Washington, a city 30 miles north of Seattle. This development is unique not only because it combines supportive housing just blocks from a regional transportation hub, but also because it is net zero energy-ready. The development is owned by HopeWorks, a local nonprofit job training program, and Housing Hope, a regional nonprofit that provides affordable housing and tailored services to reduce homelessness and poverty in Snohomish County. HopeWorks Station North provides comprehensive housing and social and job reentry services for low-income, unhoused, and veteran populations. Located in a low-density area of Everett, the HopeWorks Station North site was adjacent to strip malls and manufacturing warehouses when designed and planned, and this multifamily housing and mixed-use development’s construction helped to increase density and walkability to the Everett Station. As part of the planning and design process, HopeWorks worked with the Everett Station District Alliance to make the neighborhood more accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists. HopeWorks anticipated the mobility needs of residents by locating amenities that encourage and support bicycle and pedestrian activity, including accessible sidewalks and bicycle parking and repair facilities.
