I’m excited to find a new apartment building, 192 Shoreline, that is being built in Shoreline that will include 55 units for the disabled. It is being financed with a $15 million dollar loan from Amazon Equity Housing Fund and it is working with Alpha Supported Living Services from Bothell and TWG (an Indianapolis developer and manager). The project is supposed to be for low and medium income by restricting only low wages to be eligible to rent. This is Amazon’s idea to control rising costs. It will have a large community area and it will be a rental and will open March 2023.

Knowing that Amazon and TWG are both partners in facilitating low income housing for people in this area with disabilities is a positive sign. I believe there is a huge need for a good model for our population.

I am suspicious if in the long term that this will be the case. I can't imagine in 30 years that the rent will stay the same or they will sell the building. I am also curious as to what kind of care or service Alpha will be providing. Stuff like an adult family home or just supportive living.

This is similar to my idea, but I believe to control cost it should be owner occupied, and the value of units should not be raised in time. Meaning if you buy a unit for say $200k when you sell you would only get $200k out of it and the next person buys it for $200k. A seller would not be selling the unit to another person. Most people will not have the funds to buy a unit, but it is the same idea when you get a mortgage. The increased value of the property will not be passed on to the new owners. They will have to be picked from a waiting list. We could use income limits as well. Since a lot of our population is low income, this will allow for new people to come in at a very low rate. HOA dues (utilities) would always rise with time. This Is a novel idea, and the developer and for profit companies will not like it. It can be done by writing the idea in the HOA rules.

Most of the apartments I have seen or facilities for people with disabilities are rentals, which mean there is no secure long term living and cost can rise. Maybe section 8 housing though.

I am not a fan of these big box apartments. I feel that they are very impersonal and it is impossible to get to know everybody in the building. They promote high density which I feel is not healthy for us, even though the cities probably want this for taxes. My idea is for everybody to be a tight community where we look after each other and know each other by working, eating and playing together to provide for the safety of the vulnerable people. I would like to have a large plot where we build a three story building with garden terraces to blend into the neighborhood.

I only work about 5-6 hours a week on this project. But I’m always adding content to the website, so don't be shy to explore and give me ideas. Pass this on to everybody who might be interested. I am learning a lot about what kind of housing is out there and how it is being financed.

Legal: I added a new page to the site. Jan 1, 2022 Washington state changed their Nonprofit laws: RCW: 24.03A RCW. A few changes, but it appears that I can and I will incorporate The Next Wave in Housing with the state even though there is only one director. When we are ready to get a tax exempt status with the IRS we will need three directors to go forward.

Construction Design: (added to website) here are some articles that give us an idea of how to build a sustainable zero net building.

Computer Advisor: I am looking for a standalone AI system: to secure the complex. I would like to find an AI that can use facial and body recognition to open and close doors, know when somebody is in danger, use reminders for residents for work, record daily activities of work, pay and monitor.

I also need to be able to allow the website to be searchable.

Social Advisor: I would like to have a document or documents that would reinforce my proposition that it is better for us as humans to live in a complex as a family and with a large natural area in the center. Is it better for us to live together as a family and get to know each other or to live like the high density current box apartments that allow us to live as strangers and no community? How healthy are these newer buildings in contrast to my complex to the disabled and elderly community?

I realize that this project will be a long term endeavor, but if it ends up with a complex that our loved ones can live the rest of their lives with, it will be worth it.

I haven't got a lot of responses to my inquiries; I assume that most people don't want to bother with this, as it is a lot of work. But I'm sure that if it was built that people would be interested. I have sent out about 90 inquiries through emails or direct flyers. So far we have 4 residents and 2 advisors; with 8 people on the newsletter list.
