Past Partnerships

Over the last two decades HRG has been extremely effective through its partnerships with leading businesses and other nonprofit service organizations in Seattle.
 

Harborview Mental Health Services – HRG has developed two apartment buildings in collaboration with HMHS, providing 23 units for people with chronic mental illness who are capable of living independently.


Priscilla Bullitt Collins – As a longtime First Hill resident and Seattle benefactor, Ms. Collins approached HRG with the offer to donate her property to the east of her former family home, the Stimson-Green Mansion. We immediately accepted her offer and designed and constructed an award winning apartment building, Cascade Court, for large families.


Seattle Emergency Housing Services – HRG developed the Pardee Townhouses on Capitol Hill to provide permanent homes for families moving from shelters. HRG additionally provides apartments in Kingway Apartments for SEHS families.


University of Washington - Virginia Anderson Internship – As a founding member of the Board of Directors of HRG, Virginia has been a leading proponent of affordable housing in Seattle. HRG has created a unique internship program at the University of Washington’s Urban Design and Planning graduate program. A graduate student with an interest in affordable housing design and financing, will acquire practical experience with HRG. The goal of this internship is to increase the opportunity for students to gain from hands-on, real-life cases in affordable housing development.


Virginia Mason Hospital and The Seattle Times – Each organization owned surface parking lots in the First Hill and Cascade neighborhoods. HRG was able to obtain these properties through donation or purchase at below market value. On First Hill, HRG created 97 units for seniors over a three level parking garage, a portion dedicated to employee parking for hospital employees. In Cascade, The Seattle Times sold a parking lot at a very reasonable price to create a 65-unit apartment building and home to a Family Center on the first floor.


Washington State Convention and Trade Center – HRG has been fortunate to collaborate with the Convention Center (under the leadership of Chairman, Jim Ellis) in the replacement of housing impacted by the initial Convention Center development and recent expansion. Of the nine replacement housing projects partially funded with grants from the Convention Center, HRG has developed or preserved six buildings totaling 500 units.
