Kenyon House
In 2008, Bellwether completed an 18-unit apartment building in southeast Seattle in partnership with Building Changes and Sound Mental Health. Bellwether’s housing development department led the team effort, and Bellwether’s expertise and financial strength added credibility to the project, which attracted sufficient funding from multiple sources. Bellwether assembled the funding, oversaw design and construction, provided project accounting, and mentored the Sound Mental Health staff in compliance with the various funding sources. The building earned a LEED© Platinum for Homes rating in recognition of its energy efficiency. More importantly, it provides a stable and supportive environment for eighteen individuals who live with multiple challenges including chronic mental illness, HIV/AIDS, chemical dependency and other conditions that can be treated successfully when people have a reliable place to live.
Today, Sound Mental Health manages the building and the supportive services for the residents.
