Project Overview
Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King Kittitas County (Habitat SKKC) has recently broken ground on the Miller’s Creek Community in Burien. When completed, this project will offer 40 hard-working local families earning low incomes the long-term financial stability, independence, and equity-building that affordable homeownership provides.
The project will feature both 3 and 4-bedroom, 1.5 bath homes that are approximately 1,250 square feet. Two units will be accessible for people with disabilities and will include access ramps and parking. A playground will also be incorporated into the neighborhood, which is within walking distance to schools, shops, and services.
Over the last two years, water, sewer, power, curbs, and gutters have already been installed. Home foundations are currently underway with the plan of bringing families home in Summer 2025. Applications for the homes are expected to open in early 2025.
As with all new home projects developed by Habitat SKKC in King County, this community will offer families making less than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) affordable homes with mortgages set at no more than 35% of their incomes. The property will be placed in a Land Trust ensuring permanent affordability for future generations.
On October 19, 2020, the Burien City Council approved the selection of Habitat for Humanity development as part of the Affordable Housing Demonstration Program, which was key to making this project possible.
