From the Yakima Herald:

In 2016, when interested parties first floated the idea of a veterans housing project at the old Marine Corps Reserve armory in Yakima, they knew it would take years. But they also were confident that time and toil spent on the project would pay off. Veterans were worth the effort.

From the Yakima Herald:

Construction of the Chuck Austin Place — a veterans housing project and service hub in Yakima — is on track for summer completion.

Apartments have been built and work continues to transform an old armory into additional housing and a center where medical, dental, behavioral health and other services will be provided. In all, 41 units will be built.
