Pathways Place Update: October 2025

Building Brighter Futures Through Affordable Housing in Ellensburg

Ellensburg is facing a growing shortage of affordable housing, making it harder for local workers, families, and individuals to find stable places to live. Pathways Place will help meet this need by creating affordable, long-term homes right here in our community. With a safe and stable place to live, residents can keep jobs, pursue education, and become active members of our vibrant community.

Project Facts:

·       All units are designed as long-term housing; there will be no overnight shelter or sleep center on site.

·       Pathways will serve 39 households earning 50% of the area median income (AMI) and 39 households earning 30% AMI, of which, 20 Permanent Supportive Housing units are set aside to support individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness.

·       12 units will be set aside for Veterans and their families

·       The property will offer a total of 78 units: a mix of 32 studios, 30 one-bedroom units, and 16 two-bedroom units.

·       The complex will also feature a community clubhouse and an open courtyard for tenants to enjoy.

October 2025 Project Updates:

·       The funding stack for this project is made up of federal, state, and local government and private investors.

·       The project is anticipated to close in November, and construction will begin soon after.

·       Currently the project is in preconstruction phase. State and Federal Environmental reviews are finished, and the permits are currently being processed by the City of Ellensburg. Groundbreaking is expected to take place in the fourth quarter of this year. Pathways Place reflects a community commitment to ensuring Ellensburg remains a place where people of all income levels can live and thrive.
