Vashon HouseHold

In 1989, a small group of community volunteers created Vashon HouseHold, which became a non-profit organization in 1990.

Housing costs were beginning to skyrocket and these volunteers believed it was essential to create and maintain affordable housing on the island.

Affordable housing was, and is, seen as the means to maintain the broad cultural and economic diversity that makes Vashon-Maury Island unique.

Mission Statement

The mission of Vashon HouseHold is to assure that quality, affordable housing is available to the entire Vashon Island community. The organization develops and stewards affordable housing projects to preserve and foster the economic and cultural diversity of the community.

Vision Statement

Vashon HouseHold envisions a diverse and inclusive island community where adequate housing is guaranteed as a basic right, rent is affordable, and where the community is an essential stakeholder in the housing market.
