Patsy Sur Place, a six‑story affordable housing building in Tacoma’s Lincoln District, held a grand‑opening ceremony hosted by the Asia Pacific Cultural Center and the Low Income Housing Institute.
City broadcaster Laura Proctor described Patsy Sur Place as “a beacon of hope.” The project provides 77 units of deeply affordable housing designated for seniors at 30% to 50% of the area median income.
The development includes 47 studio apartments and 31 one‑bedroom units, all designated for seniors meeting the stated income limits. Speakers at the ceremony emphasized stability, dignity and the need for more senior housing in Tacoma. Organizers credited community advocates for advancing the project and noted the building’s role in allowing long‑time residents to remain in the neighborhood.
The ceremony text connected the project to broader efforts to preserve neighborhood history and provide housing options for immigrants and seniors, but speakers did not specify project funding sources or the property’s ongoing operating subsidies.
Officials and community representatives urged continued investment in housing that serves very low‑income seniors and highlighted partnerships between community organizations and housing providers. The grand opening marks the project’s completion; no new local legislative action or vote on the project was reported during the broadcast.
Details on tenant selection, ongoing operations, or specific funding streams were not specified during the segment.
