Bellwether Housing

Mission & Vision

​Bellwether Housing creates stable communities and access to opportunity through affordable housing. We develop and manage homes for people with limited incomes near job centers, transit, and services. We amplify our impact by helping other organizations in the Puget Sound region do the same. We envision diverse communities where people of all incomes and backgrounds share in the prosperity of our region. 

​As the Puget Sound region’s largest nonprofit affordable housing provider, Bellwether Housing serves 4,000 residents annually in 2400 apartments. Our 35 buildings (and counting!) are near workplaces, schools, childcare, and community amenities in vibrant, transit-rich neighborhoods. We serve families large and small, households recovering from homelessness, seniors, immigrants, preschool teachers and social workers, and young people just starting out. Living at Bellwether, residents gain access to the resources and prosperity of their surrounding communities and, in turn, cultivate a more inclusive and equitable city. 

To meet the intense need for affordable housing in the region, we plan to build and acquire 2,500 homes by 2025.
