Description: The Bart Harvey,
opened in 2009 in Seattle's Cascade neighborhood, provides
49 units of
affordable housing for low income seniors, ages 62 and up. The 6-story building features 5 floors of
studio apartments and 1-bedroom units. The ground floor features
a library room with a computer lab, community meeting space, and
offices for case management and support services.
Seniors making up to 50%
of the Area Median Income are eligible to live at The Bart Harvey.
The residents will pay no more than 30% of their income in rent. 10
of the units are set aside for previously homeless seniors. Another
10 units are set aside for disabled seniors.
A great many sustainable and
health-promoting elements have been incorporated into
the design of the building including several design features which
are
used for the first time on an affordable housing project in this
region. Notable among these is a green, vegetated rooftop which
uses sustainable technology to cover surfaces with lightweight soil,
allowing residents to plant everything from vegetable gardens to
wildflowers.
