Washington County Board of Commissioners Unanimously Approves Critical Housing Project for High-Acuity Individuals
Ethos Development, in partnership with Transcending Hope and Monta Knudson Consulting proudly announces the unanimous approval by the Washington County Board of Commissioners of an $8.15 million grant. This funding will facilitate the development and operation of 39 stabilization housing units aimed at supporting high-acuity individuals in need.
In July, Washington County Health and Housing Services released a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for capital development in housing. Recognizing the critical need within the community, Transcending Hope collaborated with Ethos Development and Monta Knudson Consulting to formulate a comprehensive response to this request.
“This project addresses a significant gap in our community’s housing resources,” said Deena Feldes, Executive Director of Transcending Hope. “We are immensely grateful for the support from the Washington County Board of Commissioners and our dedicated partners who have made this possible.”
The initiative is a testament to effective collaboration. Ethos Development brings extensive expertise in housing projects of various types, including trauma informed sober living and stabilization housing; ensuring the units are designed to be cost effective and to meet the specific needs of the residents. As compared to other public or non-profit entities that develop similar facilities, Ethos is able to make public dollars go further through efficiencies in process and selection of team members.
The three story wood framed development is set to take shape over the next 18-24 months and will ultimately provide badly needed homes for individuals with high-acuity substance abuse disorders.
