Nevada Street Housing Project.

In partnership with Spokane Public Library, Thrive International is developing at least 45 units of affordable housing on a 1.62-acre lot at 6980 North Nevada Street, a vacant property that the Library has owned since the 1990s. In addition to housing, the development will feature public event and learning space operated by the Library as well as a playground, greenhouse, and a 24/7 Library kiosk.

The first library-private partnership for refugee housing

Affordable Housing.

Half of the units of the affordable housing will be reserved for refugees, with the other half open to the general population. This mixed-income model aims to foster greater understanding between new Americans and long-term residents.
Public Event Space.

The Library will manage the public event and learning space as part of the more than 40 public event spaces available at seven other locations and will program free community education events.
Community Garden.

The property will have community garden and green houses where community members can grow crops and plants together in an environment-friendly way.
24/7 Library Kiosk

The property will have a library kiosk that is a like giant book vending machine filled with books and movies suitable. People can use their library cards to browse, check out, and return items – all in one spot (Spokane Public Library)!
