Community Roots Housing Foundation

We believe everyone has the right to a quality, affordable home. This truth drives our work to build and sustain affordable, resident-centered communities. With nearly 50 apartment buildings home to over 2,000 residents across Seattle, we support communities that are socially just, culturally rich, and environmentally sustainable. We are rooted in community-led development and work in deep partnerships because we know that together, we can foster better communities. As members of the Seattle community for over 40 years, we are committed to meeting the evolving needs of the community.

We build, preserve, and operate affordable homes to rent throughout the Seattle area. We work to strengthen communities and empower residents wherever we work, and run the Capitol Hill EcoDistrict on Capitol Hill.
