Canaday House is a new supportive housing facility operated by Seattle’s Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC). Opening in August 2010, Canaday House features 83 studio units of affordable housing, plus supportive services, community space and an outdoor garden for residents. Twenty-five of the studio apartments are reserved for disabled veterans. The facility is named in memory of Nicholas Canaday, a former DESC volunteer and advocate for the homeless.
