Opportunity Council received $5 million for senior housing in Bellingham

Andi Dyer • January 22, 2025

New funding is coming to support affordable housing for senior citizens in Bellingham.

The Washington State Department of Commerce announced nearly $95 million in awards for 27 housing projects around Washington on Thursday, Jan. 16.

The Opportunity Council received $5 million for senior housing at a new development near Bellis Fair Mall. The council partnered with the City of Bellingham in June to purchase the 2.7-acre property.

The project includes plans for over 120 affordable rental units for low-income families and seniors, with a childcare center that could serve up to 100 kids at a time.

Funds from this latest grant will cover 64 units of senior housing—13 of them being offered to homeless residents.

Another $4.7 million grant that was announced on Thursday will go towards the Kulshan View affordable housing project in Mount Vernon.
