Project Description

The Tacoma Housing Authority (THA) is exploring options to revitalize the 1800 and 2500 blocks of Hillside Terrace. The aging buildings are distressed and need to be replaced. Our goal is to transform Hillside Terrace into a community of high quality, healthy and environmentally friendly homes that will meet the needs of residents and make the neighborhood a safer, more enjoyable place to live.

Budget & Financing

THA is applying for a grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HOPE VI grant program to fund the revitalization of Hillside Terrace. We will be working over the next several months to prepare our grant application which is due on November 17, 2009.
