Ethiopian Village
To address the increasing housing instability and displacement faced by our community, ECS has stepped into affordable Housing Development.
HumanGood, in partnership with Ethiopian Community in Seattle, opened Ethiopian Village in 2023. The contemporary five-story community provides comfortable living in vibrant South Seattle for adults 55+ who earn low incomes. Ethiopian Village welcomes all and applicants do not need to be Ethiopian to live here.
Here residents enjoy bright studio and one-bedroom apartments with natural light, community lounges and beautiful outdoor spaces.
