The Parsons Apartments is 5-story brick building in downtown Spokane with 1 and 2 bedroom apartments designated for Elderly (62+) or Disabled households*. It includes 50 apartments and offers amenities including a large community room with a full kitchen, an elevator, a rooftop garden with panoramic views of the city, and onsite laundry facilities.
A piece of Spokane history, it was formerly a hotel and card room. The building was first rehabilitated in the 1980’s by the Spokane Housing Authority. The Parsons subsequently acquired and remodeled by Parsons LLLP in 2016, using Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and tax exempt bonds. This $6.9 million project will extend the affordability of the project for an additional 40 years. It was made possible thanks to the sponsors of the project, which include: the Spokane Housing Authority, equity investor CREA, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and bond and construction financing provided by Banner Bank.
Tenancy is restricted to households with incomes at or below 50% of the Area Median Income. Rent varies and is based on household income. Income must be recertified at least annually in accordance with Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations. Please refer to the tenant selection criteria for complete list of qualifications.
