Cascadia Village

Cascadia Village is a 50-unit affordable housing community in Clark County, WA for households with incomes between 30% and 60% of MFI, including residents with developmental disabilities and living with HIV/AIDS.

As a project manager for the Housing Development Center, Eli worked with Affordable Community Environments to help them acquire a 5-acre parcel, subdivide it and create a “Village” in Clark County Washington. Cascadia Village Apartments is the second of three multi-family buildings in Cascadia Village and provides affordable, income-restricted apartments. The buildings are on both two sides of a (newly-built) street. Each side has it’s own internal courtyard with a play structure, creating a village feel. Sensitively designed, the landscaping includes edible plants and fruit trees as well as community garden beds. The project boasts a number of experimental features – including three units testing different flooring types and turbonics hydro-electric heat.
