We believe that solutions are possible when we work together. This is why we are bringing together people across the spectrum of sectors – community, nonprofit, education, business, and political – to have a generative conversation. Regardless of political ideology and experience, housing is a place where we can come together across our different thinking and move in the same direction toward a solution.

We develop housing, provide resident services, and with the passage of the Supportive Housing Services measure, we now provide case management and rapid rehousing services. In 2023, we are celebrating our 30th year anniversary and to commemorate this milestone, we are hosting two events. The first event is this Housing Forum, and the second is a fundraiser at the World Forestry Center on October 12th. We look forward to sharing both events with our community of friends and neighbors as they give our organization a chance to reflect and appreciate the incredible contributions made by so many over the years, how far we have come, and the work yet to be done.
