Providence Vincent house is a ministry of The Sisters of Providence Health System--this system "continues the healing ministry of Jesus in the world today, with special concern for those who are poor and vulnerable. Working with others in a spirit of loving service, we strive to meet the health needs of people as they journey through life."

Description:
Providence Vincent House is a 61 unit apartment building for qualified Senior citizens. A human place to live, where people are given priority. Our residents are 62 years of age or older. Tenants are men and women capable (often with much help) of managing their own apartment. There is no discrimination of basis of sex race, creed, religion, sexual orientation or ethnic background.

History:
Vincent house began 26 years ago when the Sisters of Providence entered into an agreement with Harbor Properties and the City of Seattle. As the up-scale 98 Union condominiums were built, Vincent House would replace the low income units displaced by this project. Vincent House opened in 1985 and has provided safe, low income housing (people pay 30% of their income for rent). Our 61 units stay full.
