Housing Hilltop Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to be Held on Saturday, August 3rd
Housing Hilltop brings 231 affordable housing units to Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood
TACOMA, WA – July 25, 2024 — Tacoma Housing Authority (THA) is inviting the community to the official ribbon cutting ceremony for its largest affordable housing project in twenty years, Housing Hilltop. The event will be held in front of Housing Hilltop South on August 3rd at 11 AM, and will feature music, special guest speakers, and food.
Housing Hilltop consists of two buildings: Housing Hilltop South which is currently leasing 94 affordable housing units, and Housing Hilltop North which is expected to begin leasing 137 affordable housing units in December 2024. Both buildings also feature a combined 13,000 square feet of commercial retail space for local businesses. The planning process for Housing Hilltop began in 2016 through an innovative community design effort called #DesignTheHill, which engaged Hilltop community members to help identify important features and design aspects for both buildings.
“We’re so excited to celebrate the opening of these two magnificent buildings with our friends and colleagues in the Hilltop neighborhood,” said Tacoma Housing Authority Deputy Executive Director Aley Thompson. “So many community members and partners contributed their thoughts and recommendations throughout the planning process of Housing Hilltop in the past several years, and we can’t wait to share the end result of the community design effort.”
