Groundbreaking Ceremony for Sunrise Village
March 18, 2024
Longview, WA: Housing Opportunities of SW WA (HOSWWA) is happy to announce that we are ready to break ground on Sunrise Village, our newest development project! The celebration will begin at 12:00 pm on Monday, March 18, 2024, at 3820 Pennsylvania St, in Longview, WA.
This project began when the Longview Presbyterian Church decided to utilize their empty acreage to help with the affordable housing crisis. The church partnered with HOSWWA and donated the land to bring this dream to fruition. Sunrise Village will be a 40-unit townhome style affordable housing complex with units set aside for Seniors, Families and Victims of Domestic Violence. We are grateful for the support from our local community to make this project successful.
Our first tranche of funding came from an anonymous donor in Cowlitz County through the Community Foundation of SW WA. This initial support is what got this project off the ground as it gave us funds to perform feasibility and pre-development work. Since then, the project has also garnered funding support from the following entities:
- City of Longview $1,438,134
- Cowlitz County $752,200
- PeaceHealth $250,000
- FHLB $ 500,000
- WA State Housing Trust Fund $3,939,435
- Community Foundation $160,000
- US Bank LIHTC Equity $9,843,588
Please join us in celebrating this wonderful beginning. We will have guest speakers and refreshments. Parking will be available on the street, at Calvery Church, and at Longview Presbyterian Church.
