Join us on May 18 to celebrate the groundbreaking of a long-anticipated project: the White Center Community HUB! Located on the site of a former public health center, the HUB will create a place of “Hope, Unity and Belonging” where working families can find affordable housing along with essential services that nurture their stability and create greater opportunity.

Project partners White Center Community Development Association, Southwest Youth & Family Services, and Community Roots Housing have worked in partnership with King County to build a community-driven and designed campus created by and for White Center. Community members envision a center for learning with opportunities like workforce training, youth tutoring and child care; integrated physical and behavioral health services through collaboration between Southwest Youth & Family Services’ Counseling Center and an onsite HealthPoint medical clinic; and 86 quality affordable homes for individuals and families.

The site at 8th/108th also formerly held the White Center Food Bank, which has since moved into a separate new home on 16th SW.
