The campus will also include 120 units of iovc�income"senior` housing,the LSS corporate administrative offices,and possibly other facilities such as a health clinic. Over: the past year,LSS has been working with Lutheran Alliance to Create Housing(LATCH),which is overseeing the development process.LATCH has a long and successful history developing large low-income housing projects. Pre-development planning and the designs for the building are now complete,and fund development for the project is underway. We hope to begin construction in August 200211-111, . NEED FOR THE PROJECT: Human service facilities in South'King County;are currently extremely inadequate to meet the high need in the area. Many services which are available are based in Seattle or other distant locations,and transportation barriers prevent South King residents from accessing them.This new facility will allow LSS to greatly expand its services in South King County. Currently,most services to residents of this area arebased out of the LSS Seattle office. The International Counseling Services,which prov%ides mental health counseling to refugees and immigrants in then'native languages,conducts home visits and:uses%:donated c..,..rs ace;to serge %utl% . pur residents, Therapists must travel from,the Seattle.. .. p h' office in order to serve this area,taking up valuable time which could be used to serve more clients ]'his is ::.:.; . ;: i %do o ii foster'care:services:, : ; ; . . . also true:;ofthera fists and su: ort;workers wind a n an . . ... . p .
