Everett, WA - September 7, 2012 -   Housing Hope is excited to announce
the successful financing of Pilchuck Place through the Bonds Plus
program of the Washington Community Reinvestment Association and the
Washington State Housing Finance Commission; and a HUD home loan granted

Pilchuck Place is an existing 10-unit apartment complex located at 131
Avenue East in Snohomish. The building consists of a rehabilitated
duplex and a newly constructed garden-style 8-unit building.  Housing
Hope will convert the project to affordable housing.  Located two blocks
