Hopesource updates Kittitas County on Pathways Place affordable housing project; funding mix noted
Summary
At a July 6, 2026 joint meeting, Hopesource Associate Director Alec Helzer updated the commission and committee on Pathways Place, describing motel renovation plus new residential and community buildings, veteran-designated units, and a funding mix that includes federal, state and local sources with contributions from Kittitas County and the City of Ellensburg.
Alec Helzer, Hopesource Associate Director of Affordable Housing, presented an update on the Pathways Place affordable housing development at the July 6, 2026 joint session of the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners and the Homelessness & Affordable Housing Committee. Helzer said the project includes renovation of an existing motel alongside construction of new residential and community buildings, and will provide permanent supportive housing and veteran-designated units with on-site resident services. He reported that funding comes from a combination of federal, state and local sources, and that the project includes contributions from Kittitas County and the City of Ellensburg.
The transcript records Helzer describing construction progress and an updated project timeline, and states that renovation and new-building work is underway. The minutes also contain a timeline note that construction is expected to continue through 2021 with placement into service in fall 2021; those dates are inconsistent with the meeting date recorded in the minutes (July 6, 2026). The transcript does not provide corrected or additional dates, and the minutes did not record a formal vote or ordinance related to the project during this session.
