Bremerton officials mark opening of 24-unit Wheaton Landing; half the units tied to vouchers
Summary
Councilmember Denise Frey reported on a ribbon-cutting for Wheaton Landing, a 24-unit project acquired by the Bremerton Housing Authority; 12 units will be filled by families with vouchers and the remainder with project-based vouchers, and the project partners with the school district to serve families with children.
Councilmember Denise Frey told the City Council about a ribbon-cutting for Wheaton Landing, a newly developed 24-unit housing project purchased by the Bremerton Housing Authority. Frey said Bremerton Housing Authority arranged for 12 units to be filled by families who already hold housing-choice vouchers and that the remaining units will be supported by project-based vouchers.
Frey described Wheaton Landing as serving families with children who attend Bremerton School District schools and praised Bremerton Housing Authority and its executive director Jill Stanton for the agency's role in creating new affordable housing. She said the project adds to district conversations about park access and multimodal connections near the school site and urged coordination with the school district and library to look for opportunities to add publicly accessible playground space for the district's north end, where she said park access is limited.
Frey encouraged the public to attend the development's grand-opening events and highlighted the potential for coordinated neighborhood improvements, including a planned multimodal trail that could improve access to parks and school facilities.
