State and local officials attended the groundbreaking on Cherry Health’s Wyoming Community Health Center campus.
Shea Ravines will boast 56 affordable housing units, with 20 Permanent Supportive Housing units reserved for renters exiting homelessness. Apartments will be available for singles, families, and seniors who earn up to 80% of the area’s median income.
“A $17.9 million investment in this one building.”
Senior Vice President of Development for Woda Cooper Companies Craig Patterson, who partnered with Cherry Health on the project, says this is only the beginning.
“It’s also the first phase of a two-phase. Shea Ravines II will be closed and start construction in October, another 56-unit, about a $17.5 million investment. So, a total of 112 units thanks to Cherry Health.”
Cherry Health President and CEO Tasha Blackmon explains why building affordable housing on their existing health care campus is so innovative.
“The folks who are living right in the building on the same campus can literally walk downstairs and receive health care – quality, affordable health care – is just so exciting.”
Construction on Shea Ravines begins in July with a Phase I completion date of Fall 2026.
