Families are put first by centralizing supportive services, via the Allen Family Center, in a light-rail and bus accessible, child-friendly setting. The project is located one block from light-rail and two blocks from a transit center. This gives lower-income families more opportunities to get to work, school, and play without relying on car ownership.
On the 2nd level is a community room for residents and a spacious, partially covered courtyard that includes a playground.
Passersby can see the building’s bright, seven-story floral mural painted by Tacoma-based artist, Kenji Stoll.
