  • Homeless housing project in downtown Bellingham could begin this summer

    BELLINGHAM - Catholic Housing Services could begin construction of a 42-unit housing complex this summer at 1100 Cornwall Ave., including 20 units for chronically or mentally ill homeless people.

    The inclusion of homeless housing in the project triggered heated complaints from some downtown merchants last summer, but the people who live in the project will get round-the-clock supervision, Catholic Housing Services division director Steve Powers told City Council Monday, Jan. 28.

    The startup of construction on the $9 million project this year will depend on whether it succeeds in getting tax credits from the Washington State Housing Finance Commission to help with funding, Powers told the council. He said his agency already has applied for city review of the project's design - the first phase of the permitting process.

  • Second phase of Bellingham housing project won't be for chronically homeless

    BELLINGHAM - Catholic Housing Services will not include housing for the chronically homeless in the second phase of its development at 1100 Cornwall Ave., a representative said during the Downtown Neighborhood Association meeting.

    Steve Powers, division director for Catholic Housing Services, made that pledge Thursday, Jan. 31, during a presentation at The Leopold on the design of the first and second phases.

    The first phase serves the chronically homeless. Some owners have worried about the harm that could be done to downtown businesses, and Powers was assuaging fears that the second phase could include that type of housing as well.
