Local housing officials gathered Thursday to celebrate progress on the construction of a new low-income senior living facility in Vancouver’s Bagley Downs neighborhood.
Laurel Manor, 3333 N.E. 66th Ave., is a four-story apartment building with 82 one-bedroom units next door to Columbia River Mental Health Services.
Half the units will be for older adults who make 30 percent or less of the area’s median income — $23,700 for single seniors or $27,000 for a married couple.
