EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council voted unanimously to award $23 million to six projects for affordable housing and behavioral health housing Wednesday.

The grants include $5.8 million to the Everett Gospel Mission, which is planning a 172-bed expansion of its existing shelter. Construction is set to begin in October or November.

Helping Hands will put its $4.2 million award toward an affordable housing development in North Everett at 2410 and 2412 Broadway, serving those who are disadvantaged or have special needs, with a total of 28 units, according to documents submitted to the County Council. The project’s completion is planned for February 2028.
