Devoe II Veterans Housing was constructed to provide dignified housing and support services for homeless veterans in Olympia. The new construction features a four-story wood-framed building with 50 studio apartments designed specifically for this vulnerable population. Of these units, 38 are reserved exclusively for homeless veterans, with the remaining 12 units serving homeless non-veterans, creating an integrated supportive housing community.
The 29,429 square foot building includes ground floor office space for support services, dedicated meeting rooms for programming and case management, a shared laundry facility, secure storage spaces for residents, and a 27-space surface parking lot. The layout gives residents access to essential support services while maintaining privacy and dignity, allowing service providers to deliver the wraparound support necessary for successful housing stability and reintegration.
Associated site work included careful site excavation, on-site stormwater detention systems, professional landscaping, public street improvements, and complete utility connections. Devoe II opened with 50 people who had been without stable housing now in a home with on-site support services. It is one of the projects the Dawson team is most proud of, a building that changes lives, constructed with the same care and quality the team brings to every job.
From emergency repairs to ground-up builds, Dawson teams deliver across Southeast Alaska and Northwest Washington.
