Groundbreaking Thursday for Boarding Home for survivors of Traumatic Brain Injuries

PROVAIL will break ground on a boarding home designed to support people living with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) at 10:30am on Thursday, January 7 in Shoreline.

The state-of-the-art facility at 1548 NE 175th Street is designed specifically to support 12-14 survivors of TBI who need additional medical and therapeutic support. This Boarding Home will provide 24 hour supportive care and access to therapy with a strong focus on each individual's needs and independence.

The property for this project was purchased by PROVAIL in 2013 and was funded by King County, The Washington State Department of Commerce, and Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines.

Construction will start in January and scheduled for completion late summer 2016.

PROVAIL is a non-profit organization serving people with disabilities in King and Snohomish Counties of Washington State. In 1942, PROVAIL was founded by a group of parents dedicated to supporting their children with disabilities.

Today, PROVAIL is one of the largest disability service providers in the region with programs and services that meet critical needs and address gaps in services for the disability community that emphasize independence, opportunity, and inclusion for all.
