Built by the Seattle Housing Authority, Kebero Court will house 103 low-income families whose incomes fall far below the poverty line. Residents who participated in the festivities gave the new building high praise. “This place is the fullness of our eyes. You brought tranquility to us. You fulfill our promise.”

The new housing is located at 1105 East Fir Street, along 12th Avenue near where it intersects with Yesler Way.
