Puget Sound Regional Council honors Redmond for 100-unit Plymouth supportive-housing project
Summary
Puget Sound Regional Council presented Redmond with a Vision 2050 award recognizing the city's role in delivering a 100-unit permanent supportive-housing development for households earning under 30% of area median income (about $28,000 annually). Mayor Birney accepted the award and thanked regional partners and funders.
Josh Brown, executive director of the Puget Sound Regional Council, presented a Vision 2050 award to Redmond for the relocation and completion of a Plymouth Housing supportive-housing project that will create 100 permanent units serving households at under 30% of area median income (about $28,000 per year).
Brown said the award recognizes translating regional plans into tangible housing results and praised Redmond's leadership in welcoming and supporting the project after it had been slated for another community. Mayor Birney accepted the award on behalf of the city and credited a regional coalition of funders and partners — including Amazon, Microsoft, King County Housing Authority, the Washington State Department of Commerce, and other private and philanthropic contributors — for making the project possible.
