The project, which is expected to cost about $4.5 million, will consist of 12 units in a multifamily building for the hospital and 10 units for the city. The units will be on neighboring plots of land.

Affordable employee housing is a method some hospitals are implementing to retain and recruit employees, such as in two St. Luke’s hospitals in expensive tourist Idaho towns.
