ANACORTES, Wash. — The Swinomish Indian Tribal Community is considering a project for an affordable housing complex for patients of its addiction center.
The tribe has purchased seven acres of land that once housed the Circus Drive-In movie theater just east of the tribe’s treatment center.
Program Administrator John Stephens told the Skagit Valley Herald that staff have seen at least half of the center’s patients struggle to keep up treatment without reliable housing.
Details including size and scope of the project are still under consideration and would depend upon the amount of funding the tribe can secure, as well as permission for the City of Anacortes before building.
