Compass Broadview Grand Opening

On Friday April 12th a grand opening ceremony was held at the new Compass Broadview affordable housing building.  The building is on the site where a large parking lot for Luther Memorial Lutheran Church was, 147 N 132nd St.  After remarks from key people involved in the project there were tours of a couple of the apartments and the common area.

The Compass Broadview affordable housing development provides new beginnings for homeless and low-income individuals and families. The three-story apartment building includes 59 apartment units comprised of mostly two- and three-bedrooms for individuals and families earning at or below 50 percent and 30 percent of Annual Median Income and people with disabilities. Compass Housing Alliance will provide Compass Broadview residents with opportunities for stability, growth, and belonging through on-site case management, children’s programming such as tutoring, and community building activities, skill-set development opportunities, and much more.

A representative of nearby Broadview Thomson K-8 school said that there are students there who are homeless, and the new Compass Broadview facility will be an opportunity for some families to find affordable housing near the school.  That made the project hit home as a great addition to our neighborhood.
