The 36th ST N neighborhood was developed in the mid-century around the rise of the automobile. Today, the neighborhood’s housing stock maintains a mix of multi- family and single-family homes and contains a lot of developable green space. Compatible and affordable infill housing development could welcome more families and neighbors to the area, further growing the neighborhood and attracting additional commercial services.

It’s very important as the neighborhood grows, that neighbors are able to maintain homeownership, age in their home comfortably, and that new homeownership opportunities are preserved to pass and build equity and wealth within families. A range of housing supports, and resources will be utilized to ensure housing can remain accessible.
